Maryland Will Miss...
T oroughbred trainer Edmond “Eddie” Gaudet died on Janu- ary 4 at the age of 87. Gaudet trained more than 1,700 win- ners in his career and was the patriarch of one of Maryland’s best known and respected rac- ing families. Gaudet grew up in Massachusetts and rode his fi rst horse when he was 11 years old. He arrived in Maryland in the 1950s and went on to win some of the state’s biggest races. With the Maryland-bred fi lly At Arms Length, Gaudet won the 1971 Black-Eyed Susan at Pimlico after fi nishing third in the Kentucky Oaks. In 1991, he won the General George (G2) at Laurel by a nose with Star Touch. Gaudet’s best-known horse was Concealed
Identity. A Maryland-bred son of Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Smarty Jones, Concealed Identity won the 2010 Maryland Juvenile Championship and the 2011 Federico Tesio Stakes to earn a spot in the Preakness Stakes. T is was Gaudet’s only Preakness run- ner. He fi nished 10th behind winner Shackl- eford but went on to fi nd success on the turf winning the 2011 Find Stakes at Laurel. Gaud- et’s wife Linda took over Concealed Identity’s training to win the 2013 John B. Campbell Handicap and fi nish second in the 2014 Mary- land Million Classic. Overall, Gaudet earned $23,495,278 over his 52-year career before turning his Bowie Race Track-based stables
over to his wife Linda and daughter Lacey in 2011.
