Triple Crown: Big field set to contest Sam F. Davis

The next stop on the road to the Triple Crown will be at Tampa Bay Downs in Saturday’s G3 Sam F. Davis Stakes, worth 20 points to the winner.

The Triple Crown nominations released earlier this week include a half-dozen horses bred in the Mid-Atlantic and a larger number based here.

Multiple graded stakes winner and near-millionaire Endorsed, a half to Cody’s Wish, will stand stud at Maryland’s Northview Stallion Station.

Pennsylvania-bred Uncle Heavy rallied to post an upset in the Grade 3 Withers and earn 20 points on the Kentucky Derby trail.

Jean Aguilar, an 18-year-old apprentice jockey, earned his first two Stateside victories Friday at Laurel Park.
