Grade I

It’s Whitney Weekend at The Spa

There are many big races going on this weekend, but none are bigger than the Grade 1 Whitney, taking place at SAR on Saturday. The race offers a ticket to the BC Classic with a cool $1,000.000 purse to be split amongst it’s top finishers. It’s one of those races that we all look forward to every year, and it has been won in the past by some truly great virtual horses.

Eight To the Gate in Hirsch Stakes

There are three races that are considered a “win and you’re in” stake for the BC Distaff, and we’ll have one of them on Saturday at DMR. It’s the 21st running of the Hirsch Stakes, sending fillies and mares a little more than a mile on the main track.

BC Sprint Spot on The Line in Crosby Stakes

With the BC Sprint now just a little more than three months away, it’s time for a “win and you’re in” race here in the Grade 1 Crosby Stakes. This race first appeared on the schedule in 2004, and as you would expect, it has been run every year since than with the likes of Alpha Ultimo, Shoot Skyhigh, and Z One Chance (twice) visiting the winner’s circle at the end.
