No one tells the story of Faidley’s Seafood and Lexington Market better the legendary Nancy Devine, whose daughter Damye Hahn is opening Catonsville’s newest upscale, exquisite dining experience The Fishmonger’s Daughter on Frederick Road amidst spring Preakness and Crab Derby racing at the original location this week.

The NFL international expansion has led the Baltimore Ravens to the exotic sands of Rio de Janeiro in September and Leonard Raskin asked Nestor his opinion of a purple fan trip to Ipanema, Copacabana and all of that soccer they sing about in fabulous (but dodgy) Brazil.

From the paddock at Churchill Downs to the mortgage industry, one-time aspiring WBAL sportscaster Greg Sher returns to sports media as Preakness week comes down the stretch with Nestor, who remains antsy about the future of horse racing and the impact this Triple Crown series can have on Pimlico and Baltimore. Oh, and Sher shared some words about John Harbaugh and the future of the Ravens and Orioles as well…
So the Churchill folks are about to take over the Preakness and we have questions. Dick Jerardi of Bet Online returns to discuss all things Kentucky Derby, Laurel and Pimlico as the strangest Triple Crown season in Maryland history is in progress. Do we care enough in Maryland?
It’s that time of the year again when the few of us who care about horse racing actually discuss it. Essex attorney and former delegate Todd Schuler returns to Koco’s Pub on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to discuss Preakness ponies not at Pimlico, Triple Crown dreams sold off to the Churchill gypsies and insurance companies ponying up in court when they’re not doing what the TV ads say they will.
We still love the OG Dundalk location of Costas Inn but coming up on the first anniversary of the “new” Timonium location we sidled up to the bar inside the racetrack grandstand and adjacent to the OTB to discuss the upcoming horse racing Triple Crown season and all of the things that Pete Triantafilos has learned in expanding his father and family’s vision for the hospitality that has made the name “Costas” legendary in Baltimore seafood circles.

Frank Vespe of The Racing Biz walks Nestor through all of the changes coming for Maryland horse racing and the future of the Preakness at Pimlico via Laurel.
Before we can get to where the horse racing industry is headed under a new directive from Annapolis we must first figure out how we got here. Telling the history of Maryland horse racing and the horsemen with Alan Foreman and David Richardson on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Greenmount Bowl in Hampstead.
In an industry that has been famously and dangerously slow to change, the future of the Maryland Jockey Club, Preakness, Pimlico and Laurel is about to change dramtically and forever. Nestor had a lot of questions – and historical perspective – for David Richardson and Alan Foreman, who try to answer all of the mystery surrounding the Stronach family, the local tracks and the future of the second crown of horse racing’s Triple Crown at Old Hilltop in Baltimore.
If you love old Pimlico or know anything about Maryland horse racing, you know that legendary track announcer Larry Collmus is a Mount St. Joe boy. But, Nestor needed to know the rest of the story and further extended the legend of the great Clem Florio, who rides every race with the Triple Crown voice of the racing gods.
