Native Guest Seeks Preakness Glory Under Frankel Plan
Trainer Bobby Frankel bets on Native Guest as the 100th Preakness Stakes hopefuls race at Pimlico. Despite limited seasoning, Frankel backs the yearling as owner William A. Jevin funds a $10,000 supplementary entry. Post positions favor Native Guest with Sandy Hawley aboard as Foolish Measure and others line up. If sunny weather holds, Pimlico could break the 61,637 record set when Secretariat captured the Crown in 1973.
