    By on • ( 0 )

    A great day of racing has come to an end at LRL, and it will be remembered for Gogh Wild’s big win in the PRK and the discussions that will follow as to whether or not he can become a TC winner. Right before that race, we had the Dinner Party Stakes, with six talented turf horses searching for the $250.00 purse.

    This Saturday, all eyes will be on LRL as the track hosts the normal slate of races from PIM over PRK weekend. As a part of that undercard, we will have the 22nd running of The Dinner Party Stakes, which is a nine furlong event on the turf course.

  • Luka Mafia Hangs on in Royal Palm Juvenile

    By on • ( 0 )

    With the gate full for the Royal Palm Juvenile, trainers were hoping to claim an early stake win for one of their two year olds. History does show that this race is not really an indicator for future successes for most that participate, but it’s still a nice opportunity early in their careers.

  • Will a Star Be Born in Royal Palm Juvenile?

    By on • ( 0 )

    Two year old races are always unpredictable. Now, add to that the fact that a full field is running on the grass for the first time with only one race (if that, though there is actually one with two starts) to their name, then the Royal Palm Juvenile is a complete toss up.

  • Altered State Leaves Them Behind in Derby City Distaff

    While most of the attention for the Derby City Distaff was on Lady Sammyantha, as she would receive close to 42% of the selections in the pick ‘em, the horse to beat in the race was arguably Altered State. She came into the race red-hot, and was also chosen by many in the pick ‘em, while also being our pick to win.

  • Diametric Gives Mb Stables His Fourth CD Win

    With such a strong field lined up for the CD, a competitive race was expected and we would get exactly that. While most of the pick ‘em selections for the race went to Electric, both Diametric and Superbush were well picked as well.

  • Frozen Mist Ices The Field In The Sidney

    There was every reason to like Frozen Mist in the Sidney. Fresh off of two impressive wins, and consistently performing well on the turf, she seemed like she would be well bet at the window. She would be the post-time favorite, as well as being our pick, and she did not let anyone down.

  • The Field for The CD Looks Super

    As the anticipation for the KYD grows on Saturday, we will get a look at those who prefer to not run quite as long in the 23rd running of the CD. This long sprint is for older horses on the main track, and has seen the likes of Ljosalfar, Bold Star, and Residue grab a win in the race, and then Shoot Skyhigh do so in both in 2010 and 2011.

  • Lady Sammyantha Looks to Win Derby City Distaff Again

    Over it’s long history, the Derby City Distaff, or formerly known as the Humana Distaff, has seen many great horses of the game take home its trophy. That would certainly be the case last year when Lady Sammyantha went wire to wire to win by about a length.

  • The Field for The Sidney Looks Stellar

    As the virtual racing world gets set for KYO day at CD on Friday, a field of nine will be looking to show that you don’t have to run long or run on the main track to compete for a large purse. The Grade 2 Sidney is a turf sprint on the undercard, offering $500.00 to be split amongst it’s top finishers
