New Racing Partnership Living to Its Name

It doesn’t matter which end of the business you’re talking about: horse racing is a difficult game. But to look at the success of Black Type Thoroughbreds over the last few years, you might be fooled into thinking it’s not as hard as it looks. On Friday, they’ll run Sacred Wish in the Black-Eyed Susan at Pimlico, marking the third year running they’ve bought a horse to run a major stake for three-year-old fillies contested on one of racing’s biggest weekends (they saddled Pass the Champagne and Hidden Connection in the 2021 and 2022 Kentucky Oaks respectively).
