Capuano Retires But Plans To Stay Active

A large group gathered in the winner’s circle following the fourth race Dec. 31 at Laurel Park for a special presentation to honor trainer Dale Capuano, who is retiring as a trainer of record after a successful 41-year career.

Capuano, 60, a former member of the Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association Board of Directors, has turned the day-to-day operation over to his nephew, Phillip Capuano, son of trainer Gary Capuano.
