The Maryland racing community lost one
of its most interesting personalities when trainer Nancy Alberts passed
away late Tuesday night at Georgetown Medical Center. The 65-year-old,
who suffered a stroke April 17, is just one of 13 female conditioners to
saddle a Preakness Stakes starter.
Alberts was the trainer, owner,
breeder and exercise rider for 2002 Preakness Stakes (Grade 1) runner-up
Magic Weisner. The Maryland-bred gelding just missed winning Maryland's
signature race at odds of 45-1, rallying from far back to finish just
three-quarters of a length behind War Emblem.
