Improvised Sin Looks Formidable in Glitter Woman
Nine fillies will be heading to the starting gate for the seventh running of the Glitter Woman, an ungraded stake at GP. It’s not going to be the highlight of the weekend, but it does provide a good opportunity for three year old fillies to make a name for themselves.

Nine Look to Make a Name for Themselves in San Vicente
It’s time to take a look at the San Vicente Stakes, a seven furlong race held on the main track of SA that runs for the 21st time. There will be a nine horses that head to the starting gate, but not many of them would be considered big names at this point in their careers.

Strong Field Lined Up for Santa Ynez Stakes
The starting gate will be full on Sunday for the 20th running of the Grade 3 Santa Ynez Stakes, and while there are races out there with bigger purses than the $100.000 that is offered here, the bigger prize may very well be the KYO points that are on the line.

One Beer Edges Lightning in Final Strides to Win Great White Way
Two year old races can always be unpredictable, but our pick to win the Great White Way seemed to be in a good position to grab the victory. However, that would not be the case as a strong stretch run by One Beer, a 21/1 longshot, would light up the tote board and have trainer South Shore Stables drinking (but not drinking a lot) in celebration!

Strong Chance of Lightning in Great White Way
As 2023 comes to a close, I would like to thank everyone who has read my previews and recaps over the past year and hope that it has added to your virtual racing experience in some way. This coverage of the Great White Way, a fantastic event for two year old NY-breds is my final race of the year.

All Rise! Riser Has Little Trouble in LCD Ladies Sprint
Ever since she was claimed by D J C Racing Stables, Riser has been running real well, but her string of success even goes back before the claim as she had hit the board all of her nine races up to this point during 2023. Unfortunately, only one of them was a win, but it was time for that to change and the betting public would make the filly a slight favorite for the race.

Chai Danger Completes the Threepeat in LCD Turf
He’s done it again! Chai Danger has made the LCD Turf his playground, winning the race for the third consecutive year, doing so much the same way as he has in each of 2021 and 2022. If you look at this race line for this one, and those years, you will see that they played out almost identically for the gelding.

Chai Danger Looks to Win LCD Turf for Third Straight Year
On Saturday, the 15th running of the LCD Turf will take place at FG, and it will send five horses a mile and a sixteenth over the turf course. When the race debuted in 2006, it was unrestricted, and after a year off, it would become a race only for LA-breds.

Holy Reception Will Be Tough to Beat in LCD Ladies Sprint
LA-breds will get our attention this weekend, and this will include female sprinters as the LCD Ladies Sprint takes place for the 10th time. The race initially took place in 2006, but has only run inconsistently since then, more than likely due to fields not filling.

Uranus Expertly Handles Slop to Win Valedictory Stakes
On a wet and wild day at WO for the Valedictory Stakes, the stage was set for a winner that was out of this world. The slop would be a major obstacle for an otherwise evenly matched field, and doing it the best would be Uranus, for Threshold.
