Description: 1938 newspaper DAUBER WINS THE PREAKNESS Horse Race at Pimlico Race Track in BALTIMORE MD - inv # 9L-406 SEE PHOTO-----An ORIGINAL sports section of a NEWSPAPER, the Des Moines Register (IA) dated May 15, 1938 with historic photographs, large bold headlines and long, detailed article on the 2nd jewel of Horse racing's TRIPLE CROWN, announcing that DAUBER WINS PREAKNESS STAKES at Pimlico race Track in Baltimore, Maryland!! Dauber (1935–1947) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse best known for winning the 1938 Preakness Stakes. Bred by Sonny Whitney, he was sired by Harry Payne Whitney's 1913 Futurity Stakes winner, Pennant. His dam was Ship of War, a daughter of Man o' War. Dauber was purchased by William du Pont, Jr. and raced by his Foxcatcher Farms. Under trainer Richard Handlen, his best result in a major race for two-year-olds was a third in the 1937 Pimlico Futurity. At age three, he notably earned a second-place finish to Stagehand in the 1938 Santa Anita Derby. He went on to compete in all three of the U.S. Triple Crown races. Ridden by jockey Maurice Peters, Dauber finished second to Lawrin in the Kentucky Derby, won the Preakness Stakes by seven lengths,[1] and was second to Pasteurized in the Belmont Stakes. Following the Triple Crown, Dauber did not win another significant race. Retired to stud, Dauber was not successful as a sire. FANTASTIC PREAKNESS STAKES AND HORSERACING history in this 1940 newspaper sports section!! The Preakness Stakes is an American flat thoroughbred horse race held on the third Saturday in May each year at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. It is a Grade I race run over a distance of 9.5 furlongs on dirt. It is the second jewel of the Triple Crown, held two weeks after the Kentucky Derby and three weeks before the Belmont Stakes. First run in 1873, the Preakness Stakes was named by a former Maryland governor after a winning colt at Pimlico. The race has been termed "The Run for the Black-Eyed Susans" because a blanket of yellow flowers altered to resemble Maryland's state flower is placed around the winner's neck. Attendance at the Preakness Stakes ranks second in North America among equestrian events, only surpassed by the Kentucky Derby.
