Lady Sammyantha Wins Chicago Stakes for Third Time
She’s done it again! Lady Sammyantha is now a three time winner of the Chicago Stakes, as her win here in 2024 is added to her 2021 and 2023 victories, making us wish that she was also entered here in 2022. This did not come as much of a surprise, as she was our pick and the 2/5 favorite.

Let’s Hear It for Cacciadiavola in The Wild Applause
Last year, Smokey Stover won the Wild Applause with Breath Of The Bride, and he would return to this year’s running of the race with another Breath Of The Wild foal: Cacciadiavola.

Poetic Panther Sweeps the Field in The Eatontown Stakes
Poetic Panther came into the Eatontown Stakes hot and was hoping to make it her third straight win. Her previous two victories came at a mile and a half, and she would not have to run as long today, something that would not seem to be a problem for her.

The Stranger Makes Himself Known in The Pegasus Stakes
Earlier this month, a not to well known horse opened eyes with an impressive mile work here at MTH. He was a stranger then too many, but after the Pegasus Stakes, that is no longer the case for The Stranger.
