Trainer Leatherbury among group inducted into racing Hall (The Associated Press)

Greeted by a standing ovation as he stepped to the podium, and cheered by a capacity crowd as he was fitted with his blue blazer, trainer King Leatherbury led the class of inductees into the National Museum of Racing’s Hall of Fame on Friday. A legendary figure on the Mid-Atlantic circuit and one of only four trainers to top 6,000 career wins, Leatherbury was inducted in his first year on the ballot.
