Still Having Fun takes Preakness step in Miracle Wood

Three-year-old Maryland-bred Still Having Fun took the next step on the Preakness trail, winning today’s Miracle Wood at Laurel Park.

Young trainer Kristy Gazzier, a Charles Town native just starting her second year training, says she “wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.”

Trainer Ronney Brown saddled his 2,500th winner Wednesday at Charles Town; the road to 3,000, he said, begins with his next starter.

Maryland-bred Still Having Fun scored a flashy win in today’s Frank Whiteley, Jr. Stakes at Laurel Park and looks to have a bright future.

Neither trainer Gerald Coker, Jr. nor owner Gary Hemp has ever won a stake. But undefeated Ihearuknockin has given them reason to dream.
