Alex Campbell Jr. congratulates jockey Luis Saez after winning the Gallorette Stakes with Mean Mary
After nearly a year of his trips to the racetracks becoming few and far between, Alex Campbell Jr. wasn t going to let anything stop him from attending Preakness day at Pimlico. The nonagenarian had fallen at his home in Florida the night before, however, and was in the hospital past two o clock in the morning with a head injury.
Doctors used staples to close the wound and cleared Campbell to fly to Baltimore, where the long-time Thoroughbred enthusiast was delighted to watch his homebred filly Mean Mary win the Grade 3 Gallorette Stakes by a half-length.
