Purple Charger Opens Up And Hangs On To Win Alcibiades
In July, Fractious purchased Purple Charger for $550.000 a few weeks after winning the Astoria, and the investment is already paying off. The filly had look strong in her first two races for Fractious, winning the Schuylerville, but now a much greater purse would await her in the Alcibiades.
Taylor Stakes Looks Stinky and Untidy
On Sunday at WO, a field of seven fillies and mares will be heading to the starting gate for the 18th running of the Taylor Stakes, and one of them will be hoping that it ends in the same manner that last year’s did. The race is a ten furlong stake on the turf, with a generous $750.000 purse up for grabs amongst the top four finishers.
Strong Field to Run in First Lady
On Saturday at KEE, the 19th running of the First Lady will be taking place, and a field of eleven will heading to the starting gate in hopes of collecting the winners share of the $750.000 purse that is offered. That purse level was new to the race in 2022, and was a large increase of $350.000 from where it had been previously.

Big Purse and a BC Spot at Stake in Alcibiades
The Grade 1 Alcibiades is about as good as it can get for two year old fillies, as the race offers a generous $600.000 purse and the coveted ticket to the BC Juvenile Fillies. That purse is an increase of $100.000 from last year, and last year saw a similar increase from 2021, so the status of this race is quite impressive, indeed.

Hiei Is Awesome Again in Victory at SA
The biggest race of the day at SA was the running of the Grade 1 Awesome Again Stakes, with plenty at stake but nothing bigger than the ticket to the BC Classic that is awarded to the winner. More than likely, Hiei would have already been here in one month’s time for that race, but following his struggle in the Travers, he needed a good race.
Spankersville Overpowers the Field in Stretch to Win The Woodward
It was a wet afternoon at AQU on Saturday, and that would lead to scratches throughout the raceday card. In the Woodward, it would cost us both our pre-race pick, Anna Da Artist, as well as Sensei. Neither have performed well on wet tracks, so the decision for each to scratch was likely not a difficult one.
