    The betting public did not show much love to Gutter Black, making her a 21/1 longshot, but we thought otherwise and made her our pick to win! She would step up, narrowly, in a photo with her stablemate Barossa Valley, and paid $44.10 with the victory.

    In a well balanced field of horses that know how to either win or hit the board in most of their races, it was tough to pick a winner for the Grade 2 Lukas Stakes.

    It always seems that at least one time a year, one of these big prep races will be won by a maiden. On Saturday in the Southwest, that’s exactly what happened as Open Invitation, a horse that had hit the board eight times out of his ten starts, finally claimed the top spot.
