MyRacehorse’s Seize the Grey made all the running in Saturday’s $2 million Preakness (G1), sprinting forward at the break to establish a clear early lead and dominating the rest of the way over a muddy track at Pimlico.

Legendary jockey Frankie Dettori warmed up for his Preakness (G1) ride on Imagination by guiding the 5.40-1 Balnikhov to victory in the Dinner Party (G3).

Three-year-old fillies are by definition in the spotlight on Black-Eyed Susan Day at Pimlico, including on the undercard.

While Whitebeam readily justified odds-on favoritism in the $100,000 Gallorette (G3), the 15.20-1 Never Explain crashed the $200,000 Dinner Party (G3) in course-record time at Pimlico.

Lucky Seven Stable’s Rattle N Roll got the solid pace set-up and 1 3/16-mile trip he loves in Friday’s $250,000 Pimlico Special (G3), but it almost wasn’t enough.

A year after her signature win in the 2022 Black-Eyed Susan (G2), Interstatedaydream returned to Pimlico and scored another course-and-distance victory in the $100,000 Allaire du Pont Distaff on Friday’s Black-Eyed Susan undercard.
