Plenty Of Crimson in The Razorback Handicap
The Razorback Handicap may only be classified as a Grade 3, but there is no race this weekend that has a bigger purse than the $600.000 it has to be split amongst the top four finishers. This has led to a nearly full gate, as a field of thirteen will take part in the race

Sensation Wins Las Virgenes with Sensational Stretch Run
As a two year old, there was plenty of reason to like Sensation, as she won the Grade 1 Frizette then ran in the BC Juvenile Fillies.

Demon Sweeps Away San Vicente Stakes Field
In July, Wood Duck Stables picked up Demon in private sales for $150.000 after he made his first start. This has proven to be a great purchase, as the Crossing The Rubicon colt had won two out of three.
