Trainer Dale Capuano, the all-time winningest Maryland Million trainer, hopes Saturday could add to his lead when he sends out a bunch.
With the Cape Henlopen Stakes moved from turf to dirt, it couldn’t have been easier for Next, who won by a pole and broke a track record.
Off 10 months with a condylar injury, Vance Scholars shrugged it and the competition off to win Laurel Park’s $100,000 Bald Eagle Derby Saturday.
Two-year-old Vance Scholars won for the second time, both at a mile, to ease the sting of a difficult day in trainer Dale Capuano’s barn.
