It Would Be a Crime to Miss The BC Juvenile Fillies
The greatest weekend in virtual racing is upon us, and before I get started with my first preview, I would like to congratulate all of the trainers for qualifying one or more horses into these BC races. With this race, we will be looking at the BC Juvenile Fillies, which offers a $2,000.000 purse to be split amongst it’s top finishers.

Two Phils Takes Home The Mother Goose
The Mother Goose brought together a balanced field, consisting of a couple of Cotillion runners as well as others looking to pick up what would potentially be the biggest win of their career to date. Two Phils would fit into the second category, as a filly who had done very well in PA-bred races but was making her graded debut.

Louisiana Asset Gets First Graded Win in The Forty Niner Handicap
Since being moved back to the dirt at the start of the year, Louisiana Asset has only failed to finish somewhere in the top four, and given that was in the Grade 1 Foster at CD. Outside of that, he has been cashing checks on a consistent basis, and that caught the attention of bettors as he would be the post time favorite.

Late Burst of Speed Wins The Fayette for China Syndrome
It looks like China Syndrome has found a nice home with Mb Stables. The trainer picked him up in the September auction, and has now led him to two consecutive victories, first in the $70.000 Taylor Derby, but now stepping up to win the Grade 2 Fayette at KEE.

Exciting Field of Eight to Run in Fayette
The highlight of Saturday’s action at KEE will be the 20th running of the Fayette, which is a nine furlong race on the main track. Over those two decades, we have seen the race get upgraded from a Grade 3 to a Grade 2, and it’s purse more than double.

This Saturday at the Big A, we will have the 21st running of the Forty Niner Handicap, and it is the third time this race will run at AQU. The purse has been lower, but the current amount does represent a $50.000 reduction from where it had been over the last three years.

All Take Takes Home ALB Handicap Win
The ALB Handicap was one for the longshots on Saturday, as 10/1 All Take secured a two length victory over 28/1 Colombia. The 2022 PRK winner started the year hot, but would not be a factor in his last two, and that would lead to bettors losing some faith in him.

Strong Stretch Run Gets It Done for Last King in The Awad
Asgar entered three for the Awad at AQU, but none of them would end up running. This would include our pick to win, Mind The Dimes, as well as another of our picks, so these scratches were unexpected, especially with firm turf. With them gone, we were left with seven heading to the starting gate.

Bottomless Mimosas Gets the Win in The Athenia
There was plenty of reason to like Bottomless Mimosas in the Athenia, and that’s why we made her our pick. But could this be the race where she could put an end to her streak of finishing second while doing one better? Indeed she would, as the finally picked up that elusive first stake win.
