Dead Madness Shines in The Manhattan Lights
Dead Madness is a horse that has accomplished a lot over his career, and that includes winning the BC Turf. However, recently, his performances have been underwhelming and for a five year old gelding, that can be concerning. Bettors seemed to think there would be more of the same, rather than a blast from the past as Dead Madness went off at 32/1.

Hash Tag Hash Wins Stretch Dash in Just A Game
Coming into the Just A Game, La Terrifiant was on good form and seemed to be in a good position to win the race for the second straight year. Hash Tag Hash, however, had other ideas.

Late Pass Gives Intolerable the Win in Summertime Oaks
A good race took place Sunday evening in the Grade 2 Summertime Oaks, featuring several fillies that ran in the KYO. At the end of the race, the top three spots were filled by those who did, but it would be Intolerable picking up the win.

Billy Joel Picks Up Where He Left Off in Whittingham Stakes
It was good to see Billy Joel, the reigning BC Turf champion, back on the track for the first time since the Pegasus World Cup Turf in late January. He entered the race on a three race winning streak, with all of those wins coming in Grade 1’s, so the only reason for there to have been any doubts about him would be a concern on his layoff.
