Huntsville Native’s Investment in Preakness Stakes Winner Pays Off
Huntsville native Emma Lucas, a University of Kentucky student and founder of EML Racing International, celebrated her second investment win in a Triple Crown race when Seize the Grey won the Preakness Stakes on May 18. Lucas, 19, had also invested in 2023 Kentucky Derby winner Mage. A graduate of Covenant Christian Academy and an equine science major, Lucas attended the Preakness with her mother, Michele Fisher Lucas. Emma, who also works at Hill 'N' Dale Farms in Kentucky, has a passion for horse racing that began in childhood. Her company owns about 1% of Seize the Grey through micro-share companies, allowing smaller racehorse investments. Seize the Grey's next race will be the Belmont Stakes on June 8, and Lucas is optimistic about the horse's chances.
Madison Plans New $49M School
Madison and Madison City Schools are moving forward with a $49 million elementary school on Hardiman Road to accommodate the rapidly growing student population. Currently serving 13,000 students with an annual increase of 300, the district expects to reach 15,000 students by 2030. The new school, opening in August 2026, aims to manage this growth and enhance facilities, including new full-time music, art, and STEM programs. The project will also address traffic congestion, situated near Limestone County, where 27% of students reside. A survey will likely be conducted to name the new school.
New West Huntsville Recreation Center
Last Thursday, the city of Huntsville awarded a construction contract to Chorba Contracting Corporation for a new recreation center on Martin Road. The facility will span 27,350 square feet and will be similar in design to the Mark Russell Recreation Center. It will feature a gymnasium, two basketball courts, two volleyball courts, outdoor pickleball courts, and landscaping. Construction is expected to take one year to complete. This new center will be Huntsville's 15th recreational and community center.
