LAUREL, MD-Brittany Russell remembers having a sense of pride when Jena Antonucci became the first female trainer to win a Triple Crown race three years ago with Arcangelo in the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes.

It's easy now to see the talent that has helped Taj Mahal go undefeated with two stakes wins from three starts. Now the Florida-bred colt is leading up to his biggest race yet as one of the main contenders in Saturday’s 151st Preakness Stakes (G1) at Laurel Park.

JR Ranch's Galáctico (Omaha Beach - Tammy G, by Into Mischief) connects two of the most influential bloodlines in contemporary Thoroughbred breeding. For Florida breeders looking for a horse whose pedigree tells a complete and compelling story before a single foal hits the ground, that combination should get your attention.

These two colts are both by Pleasant Acres Stallions’ Verifying and reside at Norman Dellheim and Katie Liebe’s Breaking Good Stable in Ocala. The grey on the left is out of the Macho Uno mare Shoyoya and was bred in Florida by Norman Dellheim and Katie Liebe. The chestnut on the right is out of the stakes-producing Vicar mare Logan Square and was bred in Florida by Norman Dellheim and Gary Mesnick of Ocala.

My Miss Mo looks to snap a string of two runner-up finishes in graded stakes and fellow Florida-bred Majestic Lucia attempts to extend a two-race win streak in Friday's Grade 2 George E. Mitchell Black-Eyed Susan, a mile-and-one-eighth test for ten 3-year-old fillies at Laurel Park.
