Blazing Blazes His Way to BC Classic with Haskell Win
Blazing made quite an impression this spring when he won the FL Derby on just over two weeks rest to get into the KYD. He didn’t run badly in that race at all, but it always seemed like he would be one to watch extra closely once the TC races were over.

King Que Niagra Does It Again in The United Nations Stakes
The United Nations Stakes boasted an impressive field, and the biggest names in the race did not let us down. Amongst those stars in the game, there was one with a little bigger resume than the rest of them, and that would be King Que Niagra. After an incredible 2023, plus having won this race in the past, there was a lot to like about him.

King Que Niagra Looks to Win The United Nations Stakes for Second Time
King Que Niagra will be in action this Saturday, as the gelding is one of seven horses taking part in the 19th running of the United Nations Stakes from MTH. This is the first year that the race will be run as a grade 2, as it received a downgrade in its classification from last year, but the $600.000 purse was not changed.

No TC Winners, But Haskell Field Still Strong
With the TC races done with, it will be interesting to see where many of the top three year olds choose to race over the summer months. The Haskell is one of those great options, and while we will not see anyone who won a TC race this year in this race, there are plenty in this who had great runs in those races.

Mb Stables Continues His Quick Call Dominance
Mb Stables has had plenty of success in the Quick Call, being the winning trainer in each of the three previous runnings of the race and four in total. For 2024, he would start two horses in hopes of extending his winning streak in the race, and Bad Fear would get the job done as he prevails by a neck over Awad at the wire.

Impressive Victory for Poetic Panther in Diana
There was so much to like about the running of the Diana given the quality of horses that were taking part in it. It would take a field of this high caliber for a filly like Poetic Panther to go off as a 13/1 longshot despite riding a three race winning streak. That streak is now at four, after what is truly the biggest victory of her career up to this point.

Without Warning Stays Perfect In Sanford
We are very early in the two year old stake racing season, but for the time being, we cannot overlook what Without Warning has done for TwinTowersRacing. In his three races, he has three wins, and he has enjoyed it here at the Spa. He won the Tremont here last month, and now in the Sanford, he picked up the win again!

Balanced Field in The Quick Call
Seven horses will be taking part in the Grade 3 Quick Call, a turf sprint at SAR that runs for the 15th time. The race has been kind to Mb Stables in the past, as the trainer has notched four wins total and rides a three race winning streak.

Two Year Olds Take Center Stage in The Sanford
Everyone loves racing their two year olds, and on Saturday at SAR, we will get a chance to see a group of them who’s trainers feel have what it takes to be graded horses. Some will prove to be exactly that, and some we will never hear from again at this level. The gate is full with twelve horses that will contest the Grade 3 Sanford and this race has seen some highly successful past winners.
