King Leatherbury, a Hall of Fame horse trainer renowned as the 'King of the Claimers,' has died at age 92. He passed away at his home on Tuesday, leaving behind a legacy of 6,508 career victories over more than six decades. Leatherbury's success came from transforming inexpensive claiming horses into winners, particularly in Maryland racing.
Laurel Park has canceled its Saturday race card because of a lack of entries, with all scheduled races shifted to Sunday. This follows a similar cancellation at Penn National on Friday for the same reason. Live racing at the track resumes on Friday with an eight-race program.
