There was plenty of weekend stakes action in the mid-Atlantic.  Laurel Park hosted five Virginia-bred stakes, while Delaware held its annual Owners Day, with several stakes for Delaware-certified horses and horses that have raced at Delaware during the current meet.  Meanwhile, Parx Racing presented the region richest weekend event, the $200,000 PTHA President’s Cup.  The RaceBrief stakes gallery (simply click on a photo to pop up the information):
