  • Mo Mentum Filly Gives Mb Stables a Santa Ynez Stakes Win

    She’s a Mo Mentum horse in name, but Mo Mentum Filly is the property of Mb Stables, and has been for over a year. She has always run well, but it took a little while before she would be entered against top competition. Once there, she has stepped up to the task, and her win in the Santa Ynez Stakes marks her second straight stake win.

  • Yeah Noha Shines In The Mud In Glitter Woman

    The field for the Glitter Woman may not have been the most impressive, but that does not mean that the race can’t provide an opportunity for the winner, and other top finishers to be a stepping stone for their three year old season.

  • Excoriator Impressively Bounces Back to Win San Vicente Stakes

    In his last race, Excoriator struggled to say the least. He’s still a young horse, with only three races prior to the San Vicente and his work times looked very promising. He should be better than he was in the Remsen but could not afford to have another race like that.

  • 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. I look forward to covering the races next year, but will take the time to enjoy my holiday break.

  • 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.
