Grade II
Star Studded Field in GP Mile
Without knowing the details, if I said that the reigning BC Dirt Mile winner, Lunar Victory, was going to go up against the likes of Retaliate and Baffert, you would probably assume that it was a Grade 1 for a very large purse. Not that there is anything wrong with the Grade 2 GP Mile, it just seems like they deserve to be running for more than $215.000.

Without Warning Lights Up the Board in The Risen Star Stakes
For some reason, Without Warning was made a 26/1 longshot for The Risen Star Stakes, but you can’t say that we were surprised, as we made him our pick to win. The Neon Wolf got off to a fast start, and then had a rough couple races, one of which being the BC Juvenile, which seemed to result in people losing faith in him.
