BALTIMORE - Two days after Queen Elizabeth II passed away at the age of 96 following a 70-year reign, a horse she bred in England won Saturday’s second race at Pimlico Race Course.

    West Newton, a 6-year-old gelding ridden by Forest Boyce for trainer Richard Hendriks, rallied from sixth to win by a half-length while covering a firm 1 1/8-mile turf course in 1:52.12.

    West Newton, out of the mare Queen’s Prize, also bred by the late monarch, had been competing over hurdles. It was his fourth career win in 19 starts. comments powered by Disqus
