Mb Stables Kicks Off Dominant Day with Battle Plan in Wood Memorial
There were three 100-point KYD races that took place on Saturday, and Mb Stables did not need to win any of them. He had qualified more horses to the race than he will be allowed to enter, but that did not stop him from trying to win these races, for the prestige and purse monies that they offer. When the smoke cleared, Mb Stables would celebrate a victory in all three of these races, with Battle Plan being the one who got it done to start the day in the Wood Memorial.
Albaquirky Comes from Behind to Win Shakertown
A field of ten made their way to KEE for the running of the Grade 2, Shakertown, and one of the big questions surrounding this race would be how much of an impact would the eight pound weight allowance that the three year olds in the race actually be?

Big Weekend of KYD Preps Saturday Includes The Wood Memorial
We are now only a month away from the KYD, and there are only four races remaining that will pay those valuable points to get into the big race. Three of them are occurring on Saturday, and all of these races pay 100 points for their winner. Next week, there is a 20 point race just in case anyone needs to throw a Hail Mary at the end.
Weight Allowances of Threes In Shakertown May Be Tough to Overcome
On Saturday at KEE, we will get a look at a field of ten turf sprinters going to post for the 20th running of the Shakertown. The race was initially a Grade 3 with modest beginnings, having been run for just $100.000. It stayed at that level for over a decade, before eventually getting a bump to $200.000 in 2016 when it was upgraded to a Grade 2.
