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.

It’s time for the final “win and you’re in” race for the BC Classic as the Grade 1 Awesome Again Stakes takes place from SA. A group of eleven horses are looking to either capitalize on this final shot to get into the race, or to cement themselves as one of the top choices for the Classic, which will take place now in just a little over a month right here at SA.

Every year, the Cotillion can be counted on for having a great field that will send several runners to the BC Distaff. That won’t be any different this year, and winning the race can be a great way to make a statement that you should be one of the favorites for that race. Holding that distinction will be Wavy Girl, who was the post time favorite going in.

The eyes of the racing world will turn to PRX this weekend, with a group of very meaningful races. None will be bigger than the two that finish off the stakes portion of the card, and here we will take a look at one of them: the 16th running of the Cotillion Stakes. Whenever this race is held, you can count on seeing some of the best three year old fillies involved, and several of them will be heading to SA for the BC in six weeks.
