FIRST LADY DON MOORE AND RECORD PRODUCER D-NICE SAT DOWN WITH OUR MEGAN RIVERS TO TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT. THE INAUGURAL PREAKNESS FESTIVAL IS COMING TO BALTIMORE. FIRST LADY DON MOORE, SO THANKFUL TO HAVE YOU HERE TODAY.

BALTIMORE — Mark Casse was not a Metallica guy until he began training Sandman. Now he is a big fan. The band has returned the favor. Front man James Hetfield met the horse at Churchill Downs before the Kentucky Derby, and he and the rest of Metallica filmed a video for Casse and Co. wishing Sandman well in the Preakness this weekend.

Now in its fourth year, AfroPreak is shifting the culture at one of horse racing’s oldest institutions—by making sure Black voices, businesses, and brilliance take the lead.

A victory Saturday at Pimlico by the Kentucky Derby’s beaten favorite would recall the Preakness’ days as a pivotal Triple Crown race for top 3-year-olds
