Special Envoy working towards Ned Evans Stakes start

The Arnaud Delacour trainee Special Envoy swept three Va-bred route stakes last year and is training towards a try at a repeat in 2018.

Saturday’s Penn National card features two turf sprints — the Penn Ladies Dash and Pennsylvania Governor’s Cup — also part of the MATCH Series.

On Saturday’s “Off to the Races” radio show we’ll be talking Penn Mile, Delaware Park, Belmont Stakes, and more.

Multiple-graded stakes winner Maraud has been installed as the 5-2 favorite in the G2 Penn Mile, the feature on Penn National’s richest day.

Jockey Feargal Lynch took the Pimlico riding title, while Kieron Magee, Mary Eppler, and Jerry Robb tied for top trainer honors.
