Topps had some fun paying tribute to the most notorious Orioles card ever printed.

Post Time, owned by Ellen Charles’ Hillwood Stable, had done just about everything asked of him by trainer Brittany Russell leading up to this race. And Saturday was no exception.

Mindframe finished second in a field that included Kentucky Derby winner Mysitk Dan, Derby runner-up Sierra Leone, Preakness winner Seize the Grey and six other runners at historic Saratoga Race Course.

Not since Caveat in 1983 has a Maryland-bred horse won the Belmont Stakes, and not since Magic Weisner in 2002 has a horse from the Old Line State even entered.

The Baltimore Banner followed trainer Graham Motion as he prepared for the biggest day in Maryland racing, and was there as a promising filly took on a new challenge.

It’s Lukas’ 15th win in American racing’s premier series and seventh at Pimlico Race Course, the most recent prior to Saturday being Oxbow in 2013.

Five Towns also ran for $100,000 in the Dahlia Stakes on April 20 at Laurel Park, but this is considered a jump in class because it’s a graded-stakes race. Post time is 2:08 p.m.

With rain in the forecast and a group of “new shooters” in the starting gate, a victory for Kentucky Derby champion Mystik Dan is not a gurantee.

The Good Magic colt had a temperature of 103.

After initially expressing reservations about running his colt back on such short rest, trainer Kenny McPeek saw positive results in training and at the feed tub, and decided to give Mystik Dan a shot at Pimlico Race Course.

The Baltimore Banner has embeded with Maryland-based trainer H. Graham Motion as he prepares for the state’s most important race days.

The colt scarfed down his meal. “I’m big on that. I always believe the faster they eat, the faster they run,” Kenny McPeek said.

Legendary Maryland trainer Graham Motion explains how he makes decisions about when his horses are ready to run — and what race they should enter.

In an effort to better understand a trainer’s thought process, The Baltimore Banner will follow H. Graham Motion as he trains a horse for a race happening sometime during the two days of Preakness and the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes.

“The next chapter...I like how that sounds,” Rubenstein posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Go @Orioles.”

Maryland officials and The Stronach Group have agreed to a plan that would transfer Pimlico Race Course to the state, which would build a new racetrack at the historic Northwest Baltimore site and create a nonprofit to run day-to-day horse racing operations.

The move follows similar increases by the other two races in the Triple Crown, the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes.

David Rubenstein, a Baltimore native and Maryland resident with a net worth of more than $4 billion, is part of a group that has agreed to buy the Baltimore Orioles for $1.725 billion.
