Points for the BC Sprint are up for grabs on Saturday in the 18th running of the Crosby Stakes. It will bring together veteran sprinters that have been successful at what they do and a handful of three year olds who, dare we say, failed in their quest to win a TC race, and think they can make a shorter distance their Plan B.

Naples Scores an Impressive CCA Oaks Win
The field was strong for the 18th running of The CCA Oaks was quite strong. One would expect it to be, but this race had a special level of excitement to it with so many TC runners taking part in it. This makes what was essentially a two length win for Naples all the more impressive.
TC Runners Highlight The CCA Oaks Field
The CCA Oaks will run for the 18th time on Saturday, but I will venture to say that this will be the first time in its history that nearly half of the field ran in at least one of the Triple Crown races.
Historic Win for La Terrifiant in The Diana

Top Turf Stars Show Up for The Diana
The Diana is a great race held at SAR for older females, sending them nine furlongs over the turf course, so it should come as no surprise that this Grade 1 stake has seen some great winners in the past. Twice has a horse won this race in back to back years, with Miz Liz doing so in 2009 and 2010, and then A Little Oblivion accomplishing the feat in 2011 and 2012.
Devil Made Me Doit Makes Maxmillion Farm a BEL Derby Invitational Winner
For a trainer with an impressive record on the turf, the BEL Derby Invitational trophy was a noteworthy omission from Maxmillion’s collection. He may not have had to make a deal with the devil to change that, but on Saturday, his horse Devil Made Me Doit would allow him to find peace, as he won the headbob with Found Peace at the wire.
