Photographer Charles Sisler joined Voices of Laurel for remarkable behind-the-scenes access to Laurel Park during both Black-Eyed Susan Day and the Preakness Stakes, capturing the excitement from every angle—from the grandstand and paddock to the infield and winner’s circle. This special photo essay offers a glimpse of the unforgettable moments he documented. A selection of his images appeared in our Summer 2026 print edition, while the complete gallery can be viewed below.
