It’s Preakness Day! For the second leg of this year’s Triple Crown races, we are re-reading another one of Mom’s Marguerite Henry books. Black Gold tells the true story of a small but big-hearted horse who won the Golden Jubilee 50th anniversary of the Kentucky Derby. What an inspiring story! For today’s race, we are cheering for Secret Oath to become the seventh filly to win the Preakness Stakes, after Swiss Skydiver two years ago! We are also rooting for Skippylongstocking because who wouldn’t root for that name! -- source link
