On Monday, racing for the 2022 SAR meet will come to a close. It’s been a good one with a meet title that could potentially be decided on the last day based on the standings Saturday morning.

The Jerkens Memorial One of Several Mb Wins at the Spa Saturday

Aladdins Genie Hopes to Grant Mb Stables His Jerkens Memorial Wish
As we move closer to the running of the Travers, we’ll get an opportunity to enjoy some three year old sprinters in the 20th running of the Jerkens Memorial, which is formerly known as the Kings Bishop.
