  • Wide Open Feel for The Rebel

    By on

    The Rebel is the final 50 point KYD of the season. After this, we’re doubling the stakes and moving into the 100 point races, other than a few exceptions. There are six weeks left in the KYD chase, and some trainers have to be very happy with where they stand right now.

  • Anoush Command Goes Wire to Wire in Kilroe Mile

    By on

    At this time last year, Anoush Command was making an impression as one of the top contenders to win the KYD. Now, this colt is looking to do the same this year as he moves to the grass. In the Grade 1 Kilroe Mile, Anoush Command would score his second win in three races against top level competition.

    The race may have been ten furlongs, but it did not matter for the top two, as they were in those positions for pretty much the entire race.

  • Late Pass Gives Plan to Wheel a Gotham Win

    By on

    Saturday would end up being a good day for Fractious as the trainer picked up wins in both the TAM Derby, and here in The Gotham. In this race, it would be a horse that he picked up in private sales last September, named Plan To Wheel, who picked up the win.

    This is going to be a great weekend for the KYD Chase. Three 50-point races are scheduled for Saturday, so when the dust settles after this weekend, we can really start to look at that KYD point-board to get an idea of who seems to be safe and who is going to need some late-March or April heroics.

  • Achilles Looks for Third Straight SA Handicap Win

    By on

    For the last two years, Achilles has picked up the victory in the SA Handicap for trainer Diablo Diablo. On Saturday, this gelding looks to accomplish a very rare feat in this game, which would be to win a stake three years running. If he does, it would be in the silks of Mb Stables, but would not make the achievement any less.

  • Strong Field for Kilroe Mile

    By on

    There’s excitement out west for turf stars on Saturday, as the Grade 1 Kilroe Mile brings together a nice assortment of horses that ran in either the BC Mile or BC Turf contending with others who are certainly capable of knocking them off.

  • Mb Stables Showing Off His Proud Crown in Preps, Wins The Fountain Of Youth Stakes

    By on

    When we said that the Risen Star, the first 50-point race of the season went perfectly for Mb Stables, we were probably getting ahead of ourselves. The trainer entered three for that race, Evergreen, Howl Of The Hound, and Proud Crown. Evergreen and Howl Of The Hound finished in a dead heat for that win. Perfect, for Mb!

  • Raj Action Packed Does it Again in The Diarmida

    By on

    Raj Action Packed pulled off the win in The Diarmida, and with that victory he adds his name to a list of horses that only contains Bronze Sabre and Techfluence. That would be the horses that have won this race in two consecutive years, a fantastic achievement considering he topped the reigning Horse of The Year, Iron Nation, to do so.

  • Quest For Fame Wins Big in The Fox

    By on

    Quest For Fame was cutting back on her distance for the Grade 3 Fox, as the five year old mare who had recently been a regular at a mile and a half was hoping that this could get her back to the winners circle. Many believed in her, as she would be named the post-time favorite, but was not among our picks.
