  • Gaelic Commander Makes It Look Easy in The Audubon

    By on

    With his resume, Gaelic Commander was a pretty clear favorite to win The Audubon, but apparently the morning line oddsmakers forgot to look at him. Getting him at 9/2 was a gift and a half, and the gelding showed why he should have been 2/5 instead with a workmanlike two-length win.

    By on

    In the Aristides BC, Maxmillion Farm entered a formidable duo of Creepy Romantic and Chilled Niagra as he looked to win the race for the third year in a row. Creepy Romantic had finished second in the BC Sprint last fall but was still looking for his first big win as a five year old.

    By on

    Bunny Connection’s career got off to a fast start, winning her first three races before getting a chance to go on the KYO trail for a bit. While success in that did never materialize, she is still just getting started in her career and would use the Queen City Oaks as her chance to bounce back.

  • Gaelic Commander Will Be Tough to Beat in The Audubon

    The Audubon may be an ungraded stake, but it offers a nice $275.00 purse to be split amongst its top finishers as it sends a field of six three year olds a total of nine furlongs around the turf course.

    By on

    Friday represents a rare opportunity for BTP to get in the spotlight with a handful of $100.00 stakes taking place. Among them is the Queen City Oaks, a race that will send three year old fillies a little more than a mile on the main track.

    By on

    With the scratch of Mamba, six horses took to the starting gate on Saturday for the Thors Echo Stakes, and we would end with an entertaining finish as three of them were close together at the wire.

  • One Spirit Cruises to Win in The Keertana

    By on

    Last year, One Spirit won six times and earned over $1,700.00 in thirteen starts, but she had been off to a rather quiet start in 2026. In four starts, her only win was an allowance win at TAM, but at the same time she had still been running well.
