AP Million To Live On At CD
For decades in the real world, and for the lifespan of our virtual world, the AP Million has been known as one of the more prestigious turf races of the year. Our version has seen the likes of Dogma, Bronze Sabre (twice), and Spanish Showboat win this great race, but the real Arlington Park would close it’s doors for good. The life of the AP Million, therefore, was going to be over. Or, was it?

Charleys Latte Breaks Win Drought in The Whitney
There were not many people that picked Charleys Latte in the Pick ‘Em. After all, the horse has not given us much reason to look his way recently, going winless since June 2021, in that year’s Foster. That was also the last time that he hit the board, as well.

Dominance Dominates In Stretch To Win MTH Oaks
With a name like Dominance, you better be good. Heading into the MTH Oaks, this filly had been successful, but had never taken on a stakes crowd before. It would be her fourth stake for Nakamura Stables, who claimed her for $65.000 at the start of the year and she would knock off a pretty good crowd in that stakes debut.

Afterburner Prevails In Quick Paced Bowling Green
The Bowling Green will go down as a memorable race, not because of the winner, but because of the way the pacesetters turned on the afterburners at the start of the race.
