The second leg of the Triple Crown is set to go off on Saturday, May 16, at Laurel Park. While the Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo is sitting this one out, there’s another news-maker in sight.
Who Is Brittany Russell?
Let’s start with, who is Russell’s horse? The talented trainer is the pro behind Taj Mahal. Despite odds that pointed to Iron Honor as an early favorite, Taj Mahala, along with Incredibolt, and Chip Honcho, are also top picks.
Now back to Brittany. The former amateur racer competed between 2006 and 2017, and racked up two wins, per her bio from America’s Best Racing. Russell branched out in 2018, starting her own stable. Later that year, she won with Oh My at Laurel Park. And yes, that’s where the Preakness will be held in 2026 (the race's traditional track, Pimlico, is currently under renovation).
View this post on InstagramRussell shared her thoughts on the possibility of a first-time win with NBC News prior to the race, “It would sort of feel probably a little fairy-tale-like.” She continued, “Jena opened the door just a couple years ago with Arcangelo, and Cherie got it done in the Kentucky Derby. The fact that I feel like I have a live one in the Preakness here, look, there’s some pressure and I certainly hope we can do it, but it would mean an awful lot.”
Who Are Brittany Russell's Husband and Children?
Work-life balance has a distinct meaning for this trainer. Married to jockey Sheldon Russell, Brittany is also the mother of two young children: Six-year-old daughter Edy and four-year-old son Rye.
This year, the Preakness is a true family affair. Russell’s husband, Sheldon, won't just watch the race; he’ll ride in it. That’s right, he’s jockeying his wife’s horse, Taj Mahal!
