  • Lailoni Gives Arindel First BC Win in BC Juvenile Fillies

    With such a strong field in the BC Juvenile Fillies, bettors looked away from Lailoni, and she would go off at odds of 121/1. No one probably thought she was a bad horse, but she didn’t have as much graded success as others in the field did. None of that would matter as she would be much the best in this race to give trainer Arindel his first, of likely more, career BC win.

  • Here is the Field for 2021 BC Classic

    The Breeder’s Cup Classic is a race that we all dream of winning one day. Some have reached that, and look to add to their Classic wins while others probably know it is a longshot at best.

  • BC Juvenile Fillies is Up in The Air

    Part of all of the excitement on Friday will be the opportunity to see the best two year old fillies go at it in the BC Juvenile Fillies. It will provide some early bragging rights for the KYO, plenty of prestige, and a big $2,000.000 purse.

  • Dissecting BC Juvenile Fillies Turf

    It’s BC weekend once again! Congratulations to everyone out there who has a horse or horses in any of the big races. This article will look at the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf, which will send the field of fourteen a mile around the turf course here at DMR.

  • Heavy Favorite Pytrannical Wins Twilight Derby

    Ptyrannical went off as a big favorite for the Twilight Derby, at odds of , as bettors found his experience in races like this quite appealing. There would be no spirits that kept this one away from the winner’s circle on Halloween, but it was a nail biter as he narrowly defeated the pace setter, Sovereign Leader, at the wire.

  • Hot Summer Looks Dominant in The Empire Distaff

    The Empire Distaff seemed to be a good landing spot for Hot Summer after back to back disappointing races in the Alabama and the TC of America. The competition level would not be as strong, but still be strong enough. It would prove to be a great decision for trainer D J C Racing Stables as his filly picks up the victory in convincing fashion.

  • This Girl Gets Her Name in The Ticonderoga

    Heading into The Ticonderoga, A Girl Has No Name had done very little in the stakes that she had run in. Back in 2019, there was an ungraded victory, but other than that, she has been unable to step up to be successful at this level. In overnights, she has been very good, but it had not been the case in stakes.

  • Twilight Derby Takes Place This Halloween

    Halloween will give us some exciting stakes action this year as the 16th running of the Twilight Derby takes place at SA. It only draws a field of five, perhaps something that was affected by the race being so close to the BC.

  • Eight to Do Battle in The Ticonderoga

    Saturday will feature a handful of races for NY-breds at BEL to keep us busy as we await the BC next weekend out west. Among those races is the 19th running of the Ticonderoga, a race for NY-bred fillies and mares on the grass.

  • Aligned Hopes to Rebound in The Empire Distaff

    With a week to go before the Breeder’s Cup, most of the excitement in virtual racing centers around what we might see at DMR over that weekend. That does not mean that we still don’t have good races going right now, and at BEL we see plenty of good opportunities for New York breds.
