Description:
Hall of Fame jockey Chris McCarron looks back at Pine Bluff’s victory in the 1992 Preakness Stakes with great fondness, not just for the satisfaction of returning “home” to score a classic win, but also for the unique way he wound up with the mount.
McCarron, a Massachusetts native whose career skyrocketed in Maryland when he set a world record with 546 victories in 1974, had long since moved his base to Southern California by spring 1992.
