Nearly three dozen Minnesotans will head to Pimlico Saturday to cheer on Minnesota-owned Pay Billy, his owners’ first horse.
Pay Billy won his second consecutive stake – and possibly punched his ticket to the Preakness – with a win in Laurel’s Federico Tesio Saturday.
Trainer Michael Gorham will send out live runners Pay Billy (Tesio) and Moon Cache (Weber City Miss) on Saturday, with bigger prizes down the road.
Pay Billy is drawn to the far outside in Saturday’s Private Terms at Laurel, a liability going 1 1/16 miles, but expected scratches could help.
Four horses nominated to the Triple Crown series are among six entered in Saturday’s Miracle Wood Stakes at Laurel Park.
