Only five horses have made their way to GP for the 19th running of the Grade 3 Orchid, but don’t worry, there is plenty of talent within the field. One of them is a horse that has won this race three times already. Impressively, Maggie Greene won the Orchid from 2019 through 2021 before having to settle for second last year.
