Brittany Russell, with husband Sheldon riding, could make Preakness history
Brittany Russell has a chance to make horse racing history as the latest woman to train a Triple Crown race winner.
Following Cherie DeVaux's Kentucky Derby win and Jenna Antonucci's Belmont victory, Russell aims to complete the sweep by winning the Preakness Stakes with Taj Mahal on Saturday.
The race takes place at Laurel Park, Russell's home track, and her husband Sheldon is the jockey.
This could make them the first married couple to win a Triple Crown race as trainer and jockey.
Taj Mahal is a strong contender, unbeaten in three races at Laurel Park.
