Eight Look to Make Winning The Fantasy a Reality
There was plenty of reason for trainers to choose The Fantasy if they wanted to run in a KYO prep this weekend, as the $600.000 purse shares the distinction with the Ashland as being the races that offer the most to be awarded out.

Catori Earns Very Impressive Win in The Cicada
The Cicada is not one of the bigger stakes out there, but it can be the type of race that propels a horse into bigger and better things. Catori is a good example of that, as after breaking her maiden last month and working very well earlier this month, she seemed like a good choice to take another step forward, and she would do exactly that.
