Alwaysmining Confirmed In Preakness
Runnymede Racing's Alwaysmining romped home to his sixth consecutive win in the US$125,000 Federico Tesio Stakes, landing an automatic berth to the Gr.1 Preakness Stakes.
The 3-year-old Stay Thirsty gelding tried two turns for the first time in his previous race. Trifor Gold, Bozzini, Dixie Drawl, and Tybalt completed the order of finish.
Alwaysmining was bred in Maryland by Avla Pitts and is the first stakes winner for the Anees mare What Will Be, who has produced four winners from five starters.
