We are devastated. Hit Zero suffered a medical event walking home after his debut today at Laurel. He was a beloved colt by so many in our barn, owned by our friend Justin Horowitz and Evan Trommer, and named by Justin’s daughter. He was truly a family horse. We are heartbroken.
Already a two-time stakes winner over the track, Peach Tie rallied from last to first to sweep past Tessellate in the $150,000 Miss Preakness (G3) presented by @BaltimoreMD.

PEACH TIE rallies from last to upset the G3 Miss Preakness Stakes at @LaurelPark for the Brittany and Sheldon Russell team!

Congratulations to all connections!

Y giran la última curva en Laurel Park !!!
Carrera 7 ganada por Mizner, monta de Sheldon Russell para la cuadra de Brittany Russell
Mizner ($5.40) wins his second straight for @BTRracingstable in the seventh at @LaurelPark, a first-level allowance. The 3YO gelding took three chances to get his maiden win but just defeated winners on the first try under @SheldonRussell1.
Taj Mahal has already been out this morning as he prepared to try to make history in the @preaknessstakes for trainer Brittany Russell. A win would make her the first woman to train a Preakness winner and the first wife and husband trainer and rider combination to win.
Three starts. Three wins. Now the biggest test of all. 🏆🐎
Jockey @SheldonRussell1 joins TwinSpires' @KaliFrancois at Laurel Park to discuss unbeaten 𝗧𝗔𝗝 𝗠𝗔𝗛𝗔𝗟 and how he plans to work out a trip from the rail in the 151st Preakness Stakes.
Can the perfect record stay intact on Saturday? 👀
Making Daisys ($3.80) was a bit spicy behind the gate, but she settled behind the speed under @SheldonRussell1, and grinded it out to win the eighth @LaurelPark for Wesley Ward. Two wins in a row for Gun Runner (@Three_Chimneys) filly.
