Longshot Shining Moments Wins The Hillsborough Stakes
Horse racing can be very unpredictable. Virtual horse racing, even more so. When everything seemed to look good for Number Nine to show her class and continue her strong run of form in the Hillsborough Stakes, she won’t even be a part of the exacta. Instead, the win goes to Shining Moments, who’s a very accomplished horse in her own right but her form was not at the same level as Number Nine’s.

The Challenger Stakes Will Live Up to Its Name
A field of eleven will be heading to the starting gate for The Challenger Stakes as a part of the TAM Derby undercard. This is a smaller Grade 3, and it is only the third year that has run as a graded stake. It first appeared in 2005 as ungraded, and was only a $65.000 race back then.

Number Nine May Be Too Tough for The Hillsborough Stakes Field
As we move closer to the TAM Derby, we’ll get a look at some of virtual racing’s top female horses as six will run in the 18th running of the Hillsborough Stakes. Among them will be the reigning BC Fillies and Mares Turf winner, Number Nine, but she is not the only one in here who made a start in the BC last year.

Late Burst Wins The Davona Dale Stakes for Curlina
It took a lot of money, $450.000, for Arindel to get Curlina, but in her second start since the sale, the filly is off to a good start in getting some of that money back. The purse money for The Davona Dale Stakes is part of it, but perhaps more important are the 50 points for the KYO that she just earned.

From Last to First: Sunshine Scooter Wins The Fountain Of Youth
The Fountain Of Youth was full of impressive horses, and Sunshine Scooter deserved the right to be considered one of them after he finished third in the Holy Bull but we had the feeling that he might get lost in the shuffle a little bit. He would go off at odds at 15/1, and after six furlongs of this race, pretty much everyone was ready to forget about him.

Super Rail Trip for Shes A Super Freak in Beholder Mile
It was about a year ago this week where Shes A Super Freak would pick up the biggest win of her career, winning the Davona Dale Stakes at GP. That is a race that also ran today, but a year later, this filly was on the other side of the country, looking to pick up a win in the Grade 1 Beholder Mile.

Mb Stables Brings Strong Trio to The Davona Dale Stakes
The first weekend of March brings us so many excellent prep races for both the KYD and the KYO. Three such races for the Oaks are taking place, with 50-points being on the line for the winner in each of them.

Just One Filly, But a Good One, in The Fountain Of Youth
The calendar has flipped over to March, making just two months until the KYD and likely just two more chances (perhaps three if someone needs to push it) to get points for the big race. This is a big weekend, with three major prep races taking place, and here we will look at the $400.000 Fountain Of Youth from GP.

Off The Pegasus, Is Fashionable the One to Beat in Beholder Mile?
Saturday is a great day of virtual racing, but it is not only the three year olds providing the excitement. Out at SA, the Grade 1 Beholder Mile will bring together seven fillies and mares for a $500.000 purse, which is the highest purse that this race has ever seen.

Exactly Why He Bought Her: Exactly Wins The Honeybee
On the second of this month, Smokey Stover purchased Exactly from Fractious for $500.000. The Honeybee would be her first race for her new trainer, and she would make a positive impression right away, scoring a strong two length win to earn 50 points for the KYO! It was part of a great day at OP for Smokey Stover fillies as he would win both the Honeybee and the Rebel with one of them.
