Threshold Looks to Tower Above The DeFrancis Memorial Dash Competition
For the first time since 2018, the DeFrancis Memorial Dash will be run, and a field of ten will go to the gate for this six furlong race. The race has had an interesting history in terms of when it has been run, initially debuting in 2005, but then going from 2007-2016 off of the schedule.

Large Purse at Stake in KD Turf Sprint
There are very few opportunities out there for turf sprinters to run for the type of purse that is offered in the KD Turf Sprint.
