    In a field that featured the likes of Painville and Techfluence High, it was easy to look past Lonestar Annie. The five year old mare was making just her second start on the grass, and even though she had a strong work in preparation of the race, others were simply going to be more appealing.

    This year’s Shoemaker Mile would see a head to head battle between the last two winners of race as Jakarta (2023) and Electric Blue (2024) looked to win it again while taking on four others. After running a mile on the turf, it would be Jakarta going wire to wire, just like he did two years ago.

    The latest purse reduction for The Gold Cup did not keep the top two finishers from the BC Classic from making the trip to SA to compete in this ten furlong stake. Six months ago, Spankersville got the better of Wahpekute Sioux, and so far in 2025, we have not seen Wahpekute Sioux at the stake level.

    Memorial Day action is plentiful, and among the card on this holiday where we remember our fallen heros is the 21st running of the Shoemaker Mile, a race that may have only drawn a field of six, but among them will be the last two winners of the race.

  • The PRK Has No Real Drama in the Stretch

    By on • ( 0 )

    It was time for the PRK, and race fans would make KYD winner Extreme Jet a heavy favorite in the Pick ‘em. He’d be one of seven horses in the race that also ran two weeks ago, so there would be questions about how they would handle the other seven in the field that had more rest.

  • Christmas In May for Ello Santa in The Dinner Party Stakes

    By on • ( 0 )

    Five horses would take part in the Dinner Party Stakes, and many people expected a showdown between Ello Santa and Grand Opening, as the two took 75% of the selections in the Pick ‘em. This corrected the morning line odds seeing otherwise, and these two would end up taking the top two positions in a tightly contested race.

    The Gallorette Stakes would be just the third race for Reorganize since she won the Mrs Revere at CD six months ago. While she didn’t win either of the starts after it, there was nothing wrong with her effort in either, and she seemed like one of the top choices here at PIM on Saturday.
