Black Eyed Susan Post Position Draw
Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore gets its turn in the national spotlight next weekend when it hosts the second jewel of the Triple Crown, the $1 millionPreakness Stakes, along with an array of supporting stakes on Friday and Saturday.
Entries for Friday's program, which features six stakes – four of them graded – will be taken on Sunday by the Pimlico racing office. Entries and the post-position draw for the Preakness card will be done on Monday. Here's an early look at how the graded-stakes fields are shaping up.
$150,000 Allaire duPont Distaff (G3), 1 1/8 miles, 3-year-old & up (F&M)
Horologist, Mrs. Danvers and Lucky Stride all head south after filling the Trifecta in the April 10 Top Flight Invitational at Aqueduct. Horologist, who was making her first start since an off-the-board finish in the Breeders' Cup Distaff, pressed pacesetter Mrs. Danvers before taking over in mid-stretch and scoring by a length. Lucky Stride was another quarter-length back in third.
Spice is Nice exits a win in a high-level allowance at Keeneland on April 9 when making her first start since last August's Alabama (G1) at Saratoga. She was Grade 2-placed last year and could move forward with recency.
Getridofwhatailesu was beaten just two lengths when third behind winner Shedaresthedevil and Letruska in the Azeri (G2) in March, then came back to be fourth behind the star-studded triumvirate of Letruska, Monomoy Girl and Swiss Skydiver in the April 17 Apple Blossom (G1).
