Energizer Party Keeps Going in the Stretch to Win The Rebel
Time is getting closer to the KYD, and predictions are being made as to who we feel might be in the race. On the other hand, we are still far enough away from the big race for a new name to enter the discussion that had not been talked about before.

The field was small for the GP Sprint Championship, a race that historically has drawn at least ten horses. It had been a graded stake up until this year, but the purse was in line with recent editions, so I don’t think that downgrade played that much of an impact.

Z Baby Blue Dashes Home to Win The Turf Dash
It was a surprise to see Z Baby Blue go off as the longest shot on the board, as even though he was not our top choice, we did have him as our second selection. He would get a jockey change, with the struggling C Lozada taken off and replaced by H VillGomez.
