It Would Be a Crime to Miss The BC Juvenile Fillies

The greatest weekend in virtual racing is upon us, and before I get started with my first preview, I would like to congratulate all of the trainers for qualifying one or more horses into these BC races. With this race, we will be looking at the BC Juvenile Fillies, which offers a $2,000.000 purse to be split amongst it’s top finishers.

Unexpected Longshot Superface Party Wins QE II Challenge Cup

Superface Party may have gone off at odds of nearly 20/1, but the betting public must not have read the SRF. We expected the filly to do very well, and had her as our second choice, behind Lakota Wind, who ended up finishing second. Hopefully, whatever reasons were out there that Superface Party would not be a threat can be put to bed with this effort.

Ten To Run in QE II Challenge Cup

The biggest race of the day on Saturday in our virtual racing world will be the 20th running of the QE II Challenge Cup, a Grade 1 race that sends three year old fillies nine furlongs around the turf course at KEE. The $750.000 that is offered represents a new high for the stake, as it had been at $600.000 for the last two years, and lower amounts before that.

Untidy Cleans Up in The Spinster

On Sunday, a spot in the BC Distaff would be clinched as a field of twelve took part in the Grade 1 Spinster at KEE. After nine furlongs on the main track, it would be a horse that ran in the BC Fillies and Mares Turf getting the job done, as Untidy would grab the win by a little more than a length.

David Beats Goliath at the Wire to Win Breeders Futurity

At the end of the Breeders Futurity, a photo finish was declared between horses that are trained by one trainer who has won over 1,000 graded stakes and another that has less than ten. On such a big racing weekend with plenty of impactful races, it would be one for the “little guy” as Williams9’s Decal prevailed in the headbob.
