Perfect Class Does Not Disappoint in Jockey Club Oaks
Perfect Class truly is a remarkable racehorse. Her three year old season has been nearly perfect, and when it comes to running on the grass, it has been. She has not been ducking the competition, scoring wins in the BEL Oaks and SAR Oaks before looking to complete a NYRA sweep here at the Big A.

Pink Shark Waits for Nownownow Stakes to Get First Win
It can be easy to look past a maiden in a race like this simply because they have never won before. Pink Shark always seemed a little different, and he did have a very close call in a very strong maiden race back in July.

Balanced Field for Monday’s PID Masters Stakes
The racing excitement will not be over with once the weekend is, as Monday will feature the 11th running of the PID Masters Stakes, which is a Grade 2 sprint for females on the main track.

Indian Summer Scorches KD Juvenile Sprint Field
We have ourselves a favorite for the BC Juvenile Turf Sprint. Heading into the KD Juvenile Sprint, Indian Summer had done everything right, with wins in two out of five races and two more runner ups. That made him the favorite here, and our pick, and in this race he would show why he was so highly regarded.

Two of Last Three KD Turf Sprint Winners Have Won BC. Who’s Next?
It is a fantastic weekend of racing at KD, and here in the KD Turf Sprint, points are on the line for the BC Turf Sprint in a couple months, and trainers have been sure to almost full up the starting gate.
