Jockey Trevor McCarthy claimed his third consecutive meet title and trainer Mike Trombetta earned his first since 2015 as Laurel Park closed its 19-day spring stand Sunday. Live racing shifts to Pimlico Race Course for the 12-day Preakness Meet at Pimlico starting Thursday, May 9.
McCarthy finished with 22 victories, 11 more than Horacio Karamanos, and had purse earnings with more than $750,000.
Trombetta had no horses entered Sunday, but ended with 12 wins to snap Claudio Gonzalez's streak of four straight meet titles at Laurel. Maryland's top trainer the past two years, Gonzalez finished second with nine wins. The title is Trombetta's second in Maryland and first outright. He previously tied with Kieron Magee for Laurel's 2015 spring championship.
