Due Is Maryland Million Classic Victor

Five-year-old gelding Due pulled away from the field to win the $250,000 Maryland Million Classic at Laurel Park on Saturday. Bred by King Leatherbury and trained by Dale Capuano, Due covered 1 3/16 miles in 1:58.38 and paid $21.80 to win.

The victory capped the second-biggest day of racing in the state after Preakness Day — a $1.48 million, 12-race card restricted to the Maryland-breds. The event drew a crowd of 24,836, the second largest in the 21-year history of the Maryland Million.

Diamond David, a 21-1 shot, was second while favorite Cherokee’s Boy was fifth.

Due, who won for the eighth time in a 33-race career, was ridden by 18-year-old Anna Napravnik, Laurel’s leading rider.
