My Lady’s Manor kicked off Maryland’s spring series of three of the biggest steeplechase races in the country on April 13. It was the 109th running of My Lady’s Manor which will be followed by the 117th running of the Grand National (April 20) and the 123rd running of the Hunt Cup (April 27). Mark Beecher, a Fallston-based amateur jockey, took the inside trip with Upland Partners’ Mystic Strike in the $50,000 My Lady’s Manor, surged to the lead at the final fence, and held off a hard-charging Witor to win Saturday’s 109th running of the Maryland timber classic.
