General Zod Earns BC Sprint Spot with Crosby Stakes Win

Last month, General Zod just missed picking up his first stake win in the $300.000 Hanshin at CD before settling for second in a photo. He’d head to DMR on Saturday hoping to do a little better while cutting back to a sprint for the first time in eleven months. It would prove to be the right move, as the colt would not be denied in the stretch for the win!

BC Sprint Spot on the Line in Crosby Stakes

Top sprinters have made their way to DMR for Saturday’s running of the Crosby Stakes, a Grade 1 on the main track that will send its winner to the BC Sprint later this year. It’s the 22nd time that the race has been run, and has seen the likes of Alpha Ultimo, Shoot Skyhigh, and Z One Chance (who did it twice) get the victory.

Fawkes Scores an Impressive Haskell Victory

One of the top races of the summer for three year olds took place Saturday as a field of nine took part in the Haskell, seeking the winner’s share of the $1,000.000 purse and a coveted spot in the BC Classic. Those prizes are in the hands of Delta Farms as Fawkes went on to impressively win by a length.

Credit Crime Back Against Fillies in The CCA Oaks

If the CCA Oaks looks familiar to the virtual SAR- faithful, it’s probably because the top five finishers from the Acorn here last month have made their way back to the Spa to run in this race. We’ll have eight fillies in here, much like we saw last month, giving us an exciting rematch here.

Great Field Lines Up for The Haskell

It’s always exciting to see the direction that top horses in the TC will take once the BEL takes place. The Haskell is a typical next step for them, and this year’s running of the race will certainly not disappoint. We will have KYD and BEL winner Extreme Jet trying to give Mb Stables an elusive first win in the race, but he will not have it easy.
