"Racing as it should be": A Maryland Million legacy
More than 40 years ago, famed sportscaster Jim McKay and others had a big idea -- maybe even a preposterous one.
Why not have a day of racing, modeled on the Breeders' Cup but dedicated to Maryland, featuring the progeny of Maryland stallions and celebrating Maryland breeding and racing?
Where would the purses come from? Who would show up? Would breeders support it? Could it possibly work?
Now, as we approach the 41st running of the Maryland Million, we know Maryland Million as one of the best days on the Maryland racing calendar.
Cricket Goodall was there at the inception, and this year will be her final one as the executive director of the Maryland Horse Breeders Association and Maryland Million Ltd. She is our guest on Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz.
Goodall has seen racing's fortunes wax and wane while plans for the future came and went. But through it all, Maryland Million continued to thrive as Maryland's day at the races.
Learn how that happened -- and how she's approaching her final Maryland Million as the event's head -- in this exclusive interview.
This episode of Midlantic Racing Today, Maryland Racing Today, is presented by the Maryland Jockey Club.

The art of not going broke with homebreds while overcoming tragedy
If you're looking for a quick way to go broke in horse racing, breeding and then racing your homebreds is usually the ticket.
It's a slow, expensive process, and any money the horse might earn for you is three or more years off in the future.
But nobody gave Chas Blanford the memo.
Blanford, an owner and breeder based in Maryland, joins us for an exclusive interview on Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz.
Blanford's most accomplished current runner is the 4-year-old filly Beautiful Blome, recent winner of the Ogletown Handicap. But it's another horse -- Olivia's Legacy -- who has the most compelling story.
Find out why in this exclusive horseracing interview.
Plus, we'll preview all four stakes with Laurel Park on-air analyst Mackenzie Pfeiffer.
