From The Stronach Group: Black-Eyed Susan Day's Ultimate Girls Day Out, an entire day at Pimlico Race Course dedicated to the spirit and strength of women, played host to the inaugural "Runway on the Rail," a fashion event for every woman attending the day's races and festivities on Friday, May 17.
This year's Runway on the Rail was designed to put a new spin on the annual pre-Preakness event and enhance the Black-Eyed Susan Day experience. A bevy of racing fans enjoyed a pop-up boutique showcasing fashions from merchants including Ella Rue, Lilac Bijoux, Luna, The Lucky Knot, and Kendra Scott, as well as lipstick-print fortune readings, live fashion sketches, and glitter tattoos. Visitors could also make their own flower crowns courtesy of the Lemon Collective.
Throughout the event, judges scoured the crowd for the best dressed fashionistas and best groomed horses as part of the "Hooves and Heels" contest, before announcing the winners at 4pm. The day culminated in a vintage fashion show styled by Ella Rue.
Attendees donned their best Black Eyed Susan Day fashions for a good cause. A portion of the proceeds from this year's Black-Eyed Susan Day went to the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, which cares for Thoroughbreds following the conclusion of their racing careers, and After The Impact, which provides treatment for veterans and retired athletes, including jockeys.
"The TAA is thankful for the ongoing support from The Stronach Group and their dedication to Thoroughbred aftercare," said Operations Consultant, Stacie Clark. "Since the TAA's inception in 2012, The Stronach Group has been supportive of our work every step of the way. Equine welfare and responsible aftercare is crucial to the future of our industry, and the TAA is proud to have numerous industry partners that are committed to the lives of our equine athletes."
"After The Impact Fund (ATIF) is honored to continue facilitating customized treatment plans for the Jockey community and this would not be possible without the commitment and generous funding from The Stronach Group," said ATIF's Executive Director, Shannon Jordan. "Since 2017, ATIF has been expediting care for Jockeys with traumatic injuries seen and unseen in collaboration with TSG and The Jockeys' Guild. ATIF is committed to providing a clear path to healing for the men and women of this great sport."
The 95th Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, the most prestigious race in Maryland for 3-year-old fillies, boasted a $250,000 purse and was an exciting prelude to the 144th Preakness Stakes, the Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown, Saturday, May 18.
"Thank you to our horsemen, talented riders and fans for an outstanding Black-Eyed Susan Day! With record handle and attendance this is an incredible way to kick off Preakness weekend," said Tim Ritvo, Chief Operating Officer of The Stronach Group. "Our team has worked tirelessly to deliver an amazing entertainment experience and we look forward to a truly memorable Preakness Day."
Point of Honor, Jockey Javier Castellano, trainer George Weaver, and owners Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners & Stetson Racing, LLC, won the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, finishing the 1 3/16-mile race in 1:47:88 minutes. Ulele finished second and Cookie Dough took third.
