Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. enjoyed a big day at Laurel on Friday, capturing the $300,000 Black-Eyed Susan (G2) with My Miss Mo and the $250,000 Pimlico Special (G3) with Navajo Warrior.

Preakness weekend, which will be held this year at Laurel before a vastly reduced on-track audience of less than 5,000 while Pimlico undergoes refurbishment, kicks off Friday with a 14-race card highlighted by the $300,000 Black-Eyed Susan (G2).

Godolphin owns the best three-year-old filly in the country in Good Cheer, and perhaps might have the best three-year-old filly at Pimlico on Friday in the $300,000 Black-Eyed Susan (G2) over 1 1/8 miles.

A year after her signature win in the 2022 Black-Eyed Susan (G2), Interstatedaydream returned to Pimlico and scored another course-and-distance victory in the $100,000 Allaire du Pont Distaff on Friday’s Black-Eyed Susan undercard.
