She is the First Lady of Illinois racing, the widow of renowned Midwestern trainer Ernie Poulos and now--20 years after taking over the Poulos operation as head trainer (at the age of none-of-your-business)-- a graded stakes-winning conditioner, thanks to a little bay gelding Crewman (Candy Ride {Arg}). Dundalk 5 LLC=s Crewman, like Poulos, is honest, hard-knocking and comes from great stock. After two races for WinStar Farm and Shannon Ritter, Poulos claimed the compact charge for $25,000 at Hawthorne Race Course on Halloween 2014. Since then, the patient conditioner has taken her time developing the sometimes difficult athlete, racing 29 times over three different surfaces and receiving ample time off when needed. Consistency has been his game, as Crewman has hit the board in 20 of 31 starts, including two stakes victories in the last six months. His gritty neck tally at 25-1 in Arlington=s GIII Hanshin Cup May 13 gave the former high school teacher an overdue graduation into the graded stakes ranks.

In racing, we hear the word Normandy and im- mediately think Deauville, Arqana Sales, the lovely Clairefontaine Racecourse, Calvados, apple tarts and caramel. But to the world, of course, three-quarters of a century ago, Nor- mandy represented something far more sem- inal; the largest invasion in history and by the time the battle of Normandy was over, more than 50,000 Allied troops had given their lives in an effort which resulted in the turning point in the war. In this edition of TDN Weekend, we offer advice on exploring Normandy’s World War II history while you’re in Deauville for your equine pursuits this summer. We also profile successful owner Michael Dubb, whose Anna House is changing the lives of the children of Belmont’s backstretch workers; talk vintage top hats (and tails) with Ascot’s official top-hat licensee, Kristian Robson; tell you why if you’re going to the Melbourne Cup, you should start planning right now; and bring you a special edi- tion of The Last Word with Angel Cordero Jr., who has some fascinating revelations you’ve never heard before.
