Grade II

Back On Grass, Chaparral Cowboy Prevails in The Pennine Ridge

The last time that Chaparral Cowboy was on the turf, he won the Grade 3 De Mille Stakes at DMR, but after that, he would run on the main track for three straight races. He did not get positive results on the dirt, so it was back to the turf. It turns out that the colt couldn’t have been happier to be back on this surface, as he went on to win the Pennine Ridge.

Balanced Field in The Pennine Ridge

On Saturday at AQU, we will have the tenth running of the Grade 2 Pennine Ridge, which is for three year olds on the inner turf and it moves here from BEL. It took a year for the race to receive graded status, and it would become a Grade 2 in 2020. The purse has been constant at $200.000 since inception.

Nine Fillies Take Part in The Black-Eyed Susan Stakes

It’s PRK week at PIM, and to kick it off, we have several exciting races taking place on Friday, but none are bigger than the Grade 2 Black Eyed Susan Stakes for three year old fillies. The race is also considered the second leg of the Triple Tiara, or filly Triple Crown, and we will have nine heading to the starting gate for this year’s race.
