Maryland Family Has Triple Crown Dreams

A Maryland family rich in the horse racing industry hopes to one day breed a Triple Crown winner. In the 1890s, Vincent Allen said his family made their first big mark. He said it all starts with relative Dudley Allen in Lexington, Kentucky, who held a 40-year career in the horse racing industry. “My grandfather owned the horse and trained the horse that won the Kentucky Derby 1891, Dudley Allen,” he said. Dudley won with jockey Isaac Murphy and thoroughbred horse Kingman. Through the craft being passed down from generation to generation, Vincent learned the trade.
