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.

Captain Falcon Soars in Stretch to Win My Dear
It wasn’t pretty for Captain Falcon six weeks ago when she ran in the FL Stakes- Susan, as she was soundly defeated by six lengths, and did not beat anyone. In a similar manner that we saw Reflex Action get redemption in the Demoiselle, Captain Falcon would do the same here in the My Dear.

Reflex Action Bounces Back from BC to Win The Demoiselle
Despite winning the Grade 1 Frizette in October, Reflex Action struggled a month later in the BC Juvenile Fillies, not beating anyone and losing by six lengths.

The FL Sire Stakes- My Dear Will See a Field of Seven
The FL Sire Stakes will be running on Saturday, and that will include the 19th running of the My Dear, which sends two year old fillies a little over a mile on the main track. Unfortunately, the $300.000 purse equals the low point for the race, an amount not seen since 2013, and down from $400.000 last year.

Purple Charger Not Worried About Outside Post in The Demoiselle
We turn the page of the calendar to December, and the first weekend of the month will see some great racing at the Big A. Part of that schedule will be the 19th running of The Demoiselle, a KYO- point paying race that has attracted seven horses that were a part of the BC festivities at SA last month. They will take on five others in a full field that has the making of a great race.

Moonlight Special Captures Seabiscuit Handicap
In November of last year, Moonlight Special would win the River City Handicap, but he had not been to the winner’s circle since then. After being entered in several quality stake races where his performance would be considered decent, it would also be considered underachieving.

Let Me Explain States Her Case on Dirt in Golden Rod
Three weeks ago, Let Me Explain became a BC Champion, winning the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf, a victory that at the time was her fifth in a row. Unquestionably, she established herself as the queen of the turf for two year olds, but Mb Stables still had more work for her to do this year.
