Three-year-old O Dionysus will look to stretch out in the March 18 Private Terms at Laurel Park, one of five stakes scheduled for the day.

Penn National, typically a nighttime track, will run daylight cards on four Saturdays this year: all three Triple Crown days, plus Penn Mile.

Crossover star Sam Hunt will headline this year’s Preakness Infieldfest, along with local favorites Good Charlotte and others.
