The upcoming weekend in horse racing is highlighted by the $1 million NYRA Bets Haskell Stakes at Monmouth Park, an important race in sorting out the 3-year-old division and also a “Win and You’re In” qualifier for the Nov. 2 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.
The Maryland Thoroughbred Racetrack Operating Authority (MTROA) met July 15 to discuss preparations for the 150th Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course May 17, 2025.
The perfect opportunity for me to take BOTH of my RRP hopefuls presented itself in May at the New Vocations’ 21st Annual All-Thoroughbred Charity Horse Show. This show would give me the chance to work out details with my packing list, provide long distance trailering experience, give more show experience for the two horses and prepare me for the Thoroughbred Makeover with two horses. It’s always been in the back of my mind: can I really compete two horses at once? How am I going to do this?!?!
One of the most anticipated weeks of the annual horse racing calendar is upon us, as fans and horseplayers celebrate the start of Saratoga Race Course’s traditional summer meet on Thursday, July 11.
