text: Bonomo would like Always Dreaming to race beyond 2017
  Correction: The last name of Anthony Bonomo was misspelled in an earlier version of this article.
  BALTIMORE – He's not the first to address the subject of horse racing losing its stars to the breeding shed, but Anthony Bonomo may be next in line to become the face of the issue as the owner of Kentucky Derby winner Always Dreaming.
  For now, Bonomo's focus is on Saturday's Preakness. But he admits to looking ahead and is excited about the possibility of racing Always Dreaming beyond 2017.
  "I think it's good for the sport if we can let the horses stay around and not get enticed by the rewards," Bonomo said. "Why not give him one more year if we can?"
  Only two of the past seven Kentucky Derby winners have raced beyond their 3-year-old campaigns — 2014 winner California Chrome, who just retired in January, and 2011 winner Animal Kingdom.
  Bonomo said he understands the need to get 2015 Triple Crown winner American Pharoah into the breeding business as soon as possible but added that fans lose out because of those decisions.

  "We always lose our stars," he said. "People don't really know who owns them. They really get attracted to the horse and his name. In most sports, (the stars) stick around. Derek Jeter had a great career, right? In horse racing that doesn't happen. Your stars disappear, and every year you're looking to create the next star."
  Bonomo said circumstances surrounding his horse — such as the catchy name and the story of neighborhood buddies getting together to buy horses — should attract fans.
  And if Always Dreaming can keep his Triple Crown hopes alive with a victory Saturday, Bonomo believes the interest in his horse will increase.
  "The name, I think, is catchy," Bonomo said. "Hopefully the name will attract young kids. What are we doing every day in life? We're always dreaming. For us to be here and say sometimes dreams do come true, it's a great story."
  KELLY ENJOYS TALKING ABOUT FATHER, HELPING WITH GUNNEVERA
  As a consultant to Gunnevera trainer Antonio Sano, former trainer Larry Kelly has relished the opportunity this week to tell stories about his late father, T.J., a Hall of Fame trainer who grew up in nearby Pikesville, Maryland.
  T.J. Kelly died in 2013 at the age of 93. He trained such notable horses as King's Bishop, Noble Dancer II and Plugged Nickle and saddled six horses in the Preakness, including 1961 runner-up Globemaster.
  "The quickest way to the Maryland Country Club, where my dad was a caddie, was to jump the fence at Pimlico," Larry Kelly said. "He and my uncle (Eddie) were put to work as hotwalkers. Their father died young, and they had to support the family."
  Larry Kelly started a horse transport business after the end of his training career in 2000, and Sano became one of his clients. Kelly was at the wheel last August when Gunnevera traveled to New York for the Saratoga Special. Since then, Kelly has served as a stable representative for Sano.
  "It's been talked about that I'm a consultant, but I don't think it is as much that as being familiar with the different tracks, which, in some cases, trainers might not be," said Kelly, who served the same role at Churchill Downs prior to the Kentucky Derby. "Track surfaces, vets, places to stay — everything that is included in a move — I help with."
  BIG FRIDAY AT PIMLICO
  Friday's card at Pimlico includes four graded stakes, led by the $250,000, Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan (4:50 p.m. post time) for 3-year-old fillies.
  The Todd Pletcher-trained Moana is the 4-1 favorite in the morning line. She's 1-1-0 in two career starts, breaking her maiden in her last start on April 14 at Keeneland.
  The $300,000, Grade 3 Pimlico Special (2:39 p.m. post time) for 3-year-olds and up will feature 4-5 morning-line favorite Shaman Ghost. Trained by Jimmy Jerkens, Shaman Ghost enters off a victory in the Santa Anita Handicap on March 11.
