Charles Town's first 2-year-old stakes of 2026 are upon us this weekend, and trainer Anthony Farrior arrives holding a strong hand: two, including the favorite, in Friday's John McKee Memorial, and an intriguing debut runner in Saturday's Henry Mercer Memorial. Farrior, Charles Town's defending leading trainer who this year is chasing Ronney Brown, is our guest on this episode of Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz. Farrior will send out 3-5 Crystal Veil, along with 12-1 Kickin' With Caity, in Friday's McKee Memorial. Saturday in the Mercer, he'll unveil debut runner Hundley. We'll also check in on his pursuit of 1,500 wins -- he could get there this year -- and Grey Bells, his surprising worst-to-first winner going four furlongs at Timonium in August. Later we visit with Charles Town Races track announcer and morning line maker Paul Espinosa to preview the weekend ahead and recap Charles Town Classic night. This episode of Midlantic Racing Today, Charles Town Races Today, is presented by Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races.
