For 2026, Maryland's racing calendar will look more or less like this year's schedule after the Maryland Racing Commission on Wednesday approved a slate of 120 dates for Laurel Park. That's the same number of racing days that the non-profit Maryland Jockey Club had been awarded for this season, with the only difference being that in 2025, six programs were run at Pimlico Race Course as part of the GI Preakness Stakes meet. Pimlico has since been demolished and is being rebuilt with the goal of all commercial-track Thoroughbred racing in Maryland shifting to the new Baltimore venue by 2027, at which time racing will cease at Laurel. Laurel's management submitted a request of specific racing dates and post times to the commission for only the early portion of '26. After racing concludes this year at Laurel Dec. 31, the track will take a brief break before the '26 season opens Jan. 9 with racing through the end of that month on Fridays and Saturdays with 12:00 (Eastern) post times. In February and March Laurel will add Sundays to make a three-day racing week. Chris Merz, the commission's executive director, told TDN in an email after the meeting that the expected summer break and the exact race dates around it in the spring and fall would likely not be finalized until March or April. The Timonium Fair applied for 10 dates covering Aug. 27-Sept. 13, although Merz said at the meeting that “they will likely run seven of those days,” which is consistent with the fair's applications in previous years. Fair Hill, which conducted its first race meet in six years this past August, was granted eight dates of racing. “Stakeholders are going to work together to get specified dates,” Merz said. Fair Hill's card in '25 consisted of six pari-mutuel flat races on the turf. But according to a Nov. 2 story in The Racing Biz, the event's organizers have discussed re-introducing steeplechase racing, possibly over Memorial Day weekend in '26.

Friday, Bahrain Turf Club, Kingdom of Bahrain, post time: 19:40, BAHRAIN INTERNATIONAL TROPHY-G2, $1,000,000, 3yo/up, 2000mT Field: Bright Picture (Fr) (Intello {Ger}), Calif (Ger) (Areion {Ger}), Galen (GB) (Gleneagles {Ire}), Lion's Pride (GB) (Roaring Lion), Military Order (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), Persica (Ire) (New Bay {GB}), Royal Champion (Ire) (Shamardal), Pride Of Arras (Ire) (New Bay {GB}). TDN Analysis: With the withdrawal of Group 1 winner Tornado Alert (Too Darn Hot), Godolphin only has the G3 Winter Derby scorer Military Order set to start for Charlie Appleby in this lucrative contest. However, he is not a lock, as there are plenty of worthy challengers gunning for this Group 2 prize and Karl Burke's G2 York Stakes scorer and G1 Irish Champion Stakes third Royal Champion is signed on here. Andre Fabre will saddle G2 Prix Eugene Adam hero Bright Picture. That luminary ran third to First Look (Lope De Vega), with subsequent G1 Grosser Preis von Bayern hero Bay City Roller (New Bay) second, in the G2 Prix Dollar on Arc weekend. Group 1 winner Calif is hoping to finally find the winner's circle after a fruitless hunt this term, and the Gosdens have entered multiple listed winner Lion's Pride. The blowout winner of the Listed Godolphin Stakes at Newmarket in September could break his group duck in style on Friday. Representing the three-year-old brigade is G2 Dante Stakes/G2 Great Voltigeur Stakes victor Pride Of Arras for Ralph Beckett. Click here for the complete field.

By Michael Guerin Jason Lee is trying to look on the bright side of the one that got away. That was Tuesday’s Renwick Farms Dominion with Jilliby Ballerini after the Australian mare was a good thing beaten in almost a case of friendly fire. Lee drove the perfect race early to secure the trail behind fellow Victorian trotter Arcee Phoenix and a lap from home couldn’t believe his luck. It soon changed. Queensland trotter Gus attacked down the back straight and Arcee Phoenix picked a bad day to have a bad day, as he stopped like he was shot at the 600m and carted Jilliby Ballerini back through the field before she regathered herself to run a brave fourth. “I was pretty gutted because it had all gone so well early and you wouldn’t think old Arcee would let you down,” says Lee. “It was just one of those things, he had an off day and it costs us as well.” If there is a silver lining to that cloud is it Jilliby Ballerini never got to be fully extended after Lee’s corners-cutting early has seen her handle her first 3200m start well so she heads to the more suitable 1980m mobile of Friday’s Azap Electrical NZ Trotting Free-For-All a happy horse rather than in recovery mode. “You would think this race will suit her better,” says Lee. “She has come through Tuesday well so she should get her chance on Friday.” Jilliby Ballerini should be able to follow potential early leader Muscle Mountain across to get handy or even lead today and she will take a power of beating but her opening $1.75 quote looks a bit skinny. Bet N Win, who started from the second line on Tuesday, and the other hard luck stories Mighty Logan and Oscar Bonavena can all win but perhaps the most surprising price in the market belongs to Tuesday’s Dominion winner Gus. He was stunning with more left at the end on Tuesday and there is no reason he can’t win again so his $8.50 final field price looks enticing. View the full article -

By Michael Guerin New Zealand Cup hero Kingman will skip Friday’s Pacing Free-For-All as trainer Luke McCarthy heads home to New South Wales to drive his stable star. Yes, you read that right, the horse who sat three wide to beat Leap To Fame and the best Kiwis in Tuesday’s $1m IRT New Zealand Trotting Cup at Addington may not be the best in McCarthy’s stable. Not officially anyway. McCarthy also trains Inter Dominion, Miracle Mile and Eureka winner Don Hugo, which would at least give him the title of the “Best Performed” pacer in McCarthy’s stable, even if his peak performance wouldn’t match Kingman’s stunner from Tuesday. “It is a very privileged position to be in,” says McCarthy. “They are both wonderful horses but they have very different plans over the summer.” While Kingman will skip the Allied Security NZ Free-For-All on Friday that doesn’t mean his New Zealand campaign is over as he will remain in Canterbury and contest the Group 1 Christian Cullen Pace at Addington on Friday week. It is for four-year-olds only and not only might Kingman scare some rivals away from the new race which was run for the first time last year but he will start incredibly short in the market. McCarthy will come back to drive him next week but heads to Wagga in New South Wales on Friday night as Don Hugo contest the first of five Carnivals of Cups races, named The Bidgee, spread over the summer which carry a A$1m bonus if any horse can win all five of them. Don Hugo faces a second line draw and a hot field over the 2800m mobile. Last season’s New Zealand Cup winner Swayzee won four of the races and a A500,000 bonus but missed the A$1m payout when beaten into second in the other race. While Kingman will miss tomorrow’s Pacing Free-For-All, Leap To Fame, Republican Party, Akuta and Merlin will back up from the Cup into the sprint race which will be run at 8.07pm at the twilight meeting. The Trotting Free-For-All is the other open class race at Addington tomorrow and sees Queenslander Gus returning after Tuesday’s Dominion alongside fellow big guns Oscar Bonavena, Muscle Mountain and Victorian mare Jilliby Ballerini, who should be suited by the mobile conditions. But as iconic as the two free-for-alls are they won’t hold richest race status at tomorrow’s meeting with the second running of the two $500,000 slot races, The Velocity for three-year-old pacers and The Ascent for three-year-old trotters. New Zealand’s best juvenile pacer of last season and the top dog in the three-year-old ranks in the first half of the season Marketplace gets the perfect draw at barrier two in the Velocity as he tries to fend off arch-rival Got The Chocolates, who has beaten him fair and square the last two times they have met. Got The Chocolates has drawn the outside of the front line over the 1980m tomorrow so Marketplace was opened the $1.85 TAB favourite. The Ascent Trot could see the Australian domination of this Cup week continue with Victorian fillies Tracy The Jet and Gatesy’s Gem well up to the locals and having the advantage of inside front line draws as fillies draw inside males in the two slot races. Tracy The Jet is $2.10 favourite ahead of Meant To Be ($3.60). View the full article -
