Enormous Weight Allowance May Make Difference in The Iselin Stakes
Only five horses will be going to the gate for the Iselin Stakes, but that does not mean a lack of quality. Two horses have amassed over $1,300.000 in earnings, with another just a bit shy of $700.000. Therefore, we should still have a good and entertaining race on Saturday.

Three Straight For Ginger Sand After Longacres Mile
Ginger Sand came into the Longacres Mile hot, with wins in his last two races, and that earned him the chance to make his graded stakes debut. He had been working well, and drew one of the better jockeys at EMD, so he seemed like a pretty good bet.

Three Straight for John Henry in The Former AP Million
John Henry didn’t bring Dead Madness to run in the rebranded AP Million, so we couldn’t see that one try to win the race three years ago, but that didn’t mean the trainer couldn’t accomplish the feat. This year, John Henry brought Winter Solstice to this race, a horse that had won three of his last five races but needed to rebound after a tough outing.

It’s a 1-2 Finish for Mb Stables in The SAR Special

Moving away from the big tracks on Sunday, we head to the Pacific Northwest and EMD for the 14th running of the Longacres Mile. It’s a purse that has decreased in time, after initially debuting at $300.000 and attracting the likes of Alpha Ultimo, who went on to win the race.

Looking for the Top Suspect in The SAR Special
The second big race for two year olds at SAR will be taking place this Saturday, and the starting gate will essentially be full with a field of eleven taking part.

Rebranded AP Million Runs Saturday with Reduced Purse
It’s time for the AP Million! Or, make that the Mister D Stakes, and it’s no longer “a million”. Over the years, the AP Million has been a classic race, and one that had a lot of excitement surrounding it.

Incendiary Burns Down The Adirondack
A couple days ago, Mb Stables won the Sorrento Stakes at DMR with Paris Pinnacle Party. Today in the Adirondack, he would pull of a sweep of the two big stakes that were run for two year old fillies over the weekend as Incendiary earning the win.

Ontario Breds Conquer The Whitney
A great day of racing at SAR was highlighted by The Whitney, and it brought out many of the game’s top horses. Nothing less should be expected out of this race with the valuable BC Classic points on the line, and this race would be historic. Historic, in that there would not only be one winner.
