Overview
- Saffie Osborne will make her US riding debut in the Preakness Stakes, the second leg of the US Triple Crown, at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.
- Osborne is the first British-based jockey and only the third female rider to compete in the 150-year history of the dirt Classic.
- Heart Of Honor, trained by Osborne's father Jamie, enters the nine-runner field as a 12-1 morning line chance after finishing a close second in the UAE Derby in March.
- The Preakness serves as a stepping stone for Heart Of Honor's broader campaign targeting prestigious international dirt races like the Saudi Cup and Dubai World Cup.
- Osborne prepared for her US dirt debut by seeking advice from American racing figures, including Sophie Doyle and Hall of Famer Steve Cauthen.
