In November of last year, Moonlight Special would win the River City Handicap, but he had not been to the winner’s circle since then. After being entered in several quality stake races where his performance would be considered decent, it would also be considered underachieving.

Let Me Explain States Her Case on Dirt in Golden Rod
Three weeks ago, Let Me Explain became a BC Champion, winning the BC Juvenile Fillies Turf, a victory that at the time was her fifth in a row. Unquestionably, she established herself as the queen of the turf for two year olds, but Mb Stables still had more work for her to do this year.
Fractious Gets a 1-2 Finish in KY Jockey Club
The KY Jockey Club will go down as a great race for Fractious, as the trainer not only had a 1-2 finish in the race, but his two horses were clearly the class of the field in the race. We didn’t have either one of them on top, but both were among our picks, making it quite a surprise that each of them went off with double digit odds.

Seabiscuit Handicap Draws a Field of Ten
This Saturday at DMR, the top race of the day will be the 20th running of the Seabiscuit Handicap, and there will be ten horses heading to post to try and win a race that has seen the likes of Barbarino and Five Spirits win in the past. The race had a higher purse back in the day, so it may have drawn stronger fields overall.
Let Me Explain Is Back on Dirt for Golden Rod
Like its companion race, the KY Jockey Club, the Golden Rod provides points for the big race that will be held here over the first weekend in May. That, of course, is the KYO, but as we saw with last year’s KY Jockey Club, these races are really more about winning a nice race in November with a talented juvenile for a generous purse.
KY Jockey Club Should Be an Entertaining Affair
With the BC Juvenile come and gone, the next race to officially be targeted for two year olds is the KYD, as even though it can seem so far away right now, points have been awarded for the race since September. The starting gate will be full for this race, as points gained now could mean all the difference between finishing 20th or 21st on the KYD leaderboard down the road.
