## Resource

Laurel Park hosts three stakes Saturday afternoon, and one of them -- the Selima -- has produced a Breeders' Cup winner Jockey agent Tom Stift will be well represented with one of his clients riding in each of the three. Angel Cruz has mounts in the All Along (on Mischief in Motion) and the Laurel Futurity (Fire Marshal), while Vincent Cheminaud pilots Sea Isle City in the Selima. Tom Stift joins us for an exclusive interview on Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz. Stift has been an agent for 38 years, and his career includes stops in California, Oregon, and Texas before a shift to the East Coast. Also in there are sojourns to New Orleans and Tampa Bay, along with a working trip to Jamaica (nice work if you can get it!). Plus, we'll preview all three stakes with Laurel Park on-air analyst Mackenzie Pfeiffer. This episode of Midlantic Racing Today, Maryland Racing Today, is presented by the Maryland Jockey Club
