Maryland week is here. The Mars Maryland Five-Star presented by Brown Advisory is about to get underway, and it’s a proper field this year. A new designer in Pierre le Goupil means a fresh look to the track, the ground is in great shape, and the home team is coming in hot. Boyd Martin tops the Prediction Centre with Commando 3 and Luke 140, but he’s not the only headline act. There’s international class right through the list.

Nicole Brown is joined by Diarm Byrne and Annie Bishop for all the Preview chat, the numbers, and a few bold predictions ahead of the fifth running of Maryland’s five-star.

Highlights Include:

  • First thoughts on Pierre le Goupil’s Maryland debut and how the course could ride.
  • Boyd Martin’s big two and what this week could mean on home soil.
  • The global mix of challengers including Monica Spencer, Alex Bragg, Caroline Pamukcu, Jonelle Price, and more.
  • Which horses the Prediction Centre loves, and where the real jeopardy sits.
  • Dark horses to keep an eye on, including Jess Phoenix’s Wabbit and Buck Davidson’s Cooley Candyman.

Guests

  • Nicole Brown – Host of the EquiRatings Eventing Podcast, bringing the stories, the stats, and all the five-star buzz.
  • Diarm Byrne – Co-founder of EquiRatings, the numbers man with plenty of opinions and zero chill when it comes to predictions.
