  • Christina G Looks for Her Second Hurricane Bertie Win

    By on

    The starting gate is mostly full on Saturday for the 19th running of the Grade 3 Hurricane Bertie, a race that debuted in 2004 and has taken place every year other than 2016. The purse levels for the race have generally been consistent, but we have seen some minor fluctuation in the distance of the race.

  • Mickey Proves Doubters Wrong in Kilroe Mile

    By on

    There was much to like about Mickey heading into the Kilroe Mile even with the race having as strong of a field as it did. The Proud Chai gelding was a monster as a three year old, capping off a great season with a win in the BC Turf. He was not done there, though, continuing his great form and looking like the one to beat here. While he was our pick to win, the bettors did not feel the same way for some reason, and made him a 14/1 longshot.

  • Dead Heat in Buena Vista Stakes

    By on

    The great La Terrifiant made her way to SA on Saturday for the Grade 2 Buena Vista Stakes looking to pick up her 20th career victory. She would accomplish that, but for this occasion she would have to share the spoils with another one as Painville was right alongside her at the wire, finishing in a dead heat.

  • Fangs Of The Storm Prevails Over Rebel Girl to Win The Fox

    By on

    Nine fillies took part in the running of The Fox on Saturday, and that would include several that also ran here at GP last month for the Pegasus F & M Turf. It would be the horse that finished second in that race that would get the job done today as Fangs Of The Storm utilized a smart stalking trip to win and justify our selection of her in the preview.

  • Field Of Nine for The Fox

    By on

    A field of nine will be heading to the starting gate for the 19th running of The Fox, a Grade 3 turf race for older fillies and mares. In its history, the race has been both a Grade 2 and a Grade 3, and has seen it’s purse range from $100.000 to $300.000.

  • La Terrifiant Back in Action for Buena Vista Stakes

    By on

    The 19th running of the Buena Vista takes place on Saturday at SA, and while it did not attract a large field, it did interest one of the greats of the game, La Terrifiant. She should be the favorite for the race, but there are four others here who will be looking to steal her spotlight in this Grade 2 event.

  • Turf Stars Will Shine Bright in Kilroe Mile

    By on

    For this first weekend in March, we have plenty of great races to be excited about, and they all aren’t necessarily paying KYD or KYO points. At SA, we will have nineteenth running of the Grade 1 Kilroe Mile, sending a field of eleven that distance along the turf course for a $500.000 purse.

  • Energizer Party Keeps Going in the Stretch to Win The Rebel

    By on

    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.

  • Binnington Saves The Day In GP Sprint Championship

    By on

    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.
