Too Scared to Party? Not Smokey Stover After SAR Oaks Win
Smokey Stover is not one that is too scared to party. He is also not one that is afraid to make a sizable payment for a horse that he likes. Just two weeks ago, he put down $900.000 on a talented, though still up and coming filly. Now, he has recovered almost half of that in the SAR Oaks with Too Scared To Party.

Iron Nation Impresses in SAR Derby
The SAR Derby is an exciting race that was created last year to give us an opportunity to see some of the top three year old turf horses in the game. They don’t get as much publicity as the dirt stars, especially at this age, but they are certainly just as talented at their trade.

Tko Knocks Out Field in Best Pal Stakes
To the observer, and not to the trainer, two year old stakes are always exciting because of their unpredictability. These young horses all have plenty of potential, but they are still learning how to bring it to the race track. Some will flourish at this age, and go on to bigger things.

A New Star Has Arrived: Jolly Rook Wins The Travers
During the TC season, we learned the names of many three year olds who seemed to be the best in the division. Prep races have come and gone, as well as the TC races themselves.
