2026 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at a Glance
There may not be a Triple Crown for 3-year-old fillies, but at least there’s the George E. Mitchell Black-Eyed Susan Stakes to complement this weekend’s Preakness. Contested at Laurel Park in 2026, the Black-Eyed Susan will provide an opportunity for 3-year-old fillies who missed the Kentucky Oaks to pick up Grade 2 stakes laurels.
Majestic Prince: A Racehorse Who Lived Up to His Name
Much more often than not, horses fail to live up to the regal names bestowed upon them. Maiden claiming races are filled with horses that have a "King" or "Queen" in their name. But if a horse ever justified its moniker, few did it as magnificently as Majestic Prince. Given a name that exuded class, Majestic Prince was indeed equine royalty during a short but spectacular 10-race career that saw him come heart-breakingly close to a Triple Crown sweep in 1969.
