It's never a good thing when your boss calls you a knucklehead.

“You can teach him,” quipped legendary trainer Ben A. Jones of Whirlaway in the spring of 1941, “but you can't teach him much. ”

A total of 15 stakes at Laurel Park, which hosted last weekend’s Black-Eyed Susan and Preakness Stakes days, has reshaped the Equibase leaderboard among 3-year-olds and older horses. Headlined by Napoleon Solo’s win in the Preakness, the weekend featured plenty of standout performances in stakes races on both the dirt and turf.

The Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve and the Preakness Stakes are in the books, so now is the time to shift focus to the $2 million Belmont Stakes Presented by NYRA Bets June 6 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.

Each week, members of the national media vote on the nation's top contenders on the Triple Crown trail in the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) Top Thoroughbred Poll.

Any rivalry needs something more than great competition to make it legendary.

East vs. West. Rich vs. Poor. Big vs. Small.

Sprinkle any of those ingredients into a battle between two great athletes and you have something memorable.
