Time is getting closer to the KYD, and predictions are being made as to who we feel might be in the race. On the other hand, we are still far enough away from the big race for a new name to enter the discussion that had not been talked about before.
Grade II
Niagra Keys Comes from Way Back to Win Alexandra Stakes
In her last start, Niagra Keys raced right here at FG, and started from post #11. The race was the $100.000 Untapable, and she came from well off the pace to score the victory. Now, here we are a month later, same race track and the same starting post. Would it mean the same result?
The Alexandra Stakes Returns to Normal This Year
Last year, the Alexandra Stakes ran with only six entrants but had five fillies join the companion race at FG, the Risen Star. This is something that drew a lot of discussion at the time as fillies had significant success against males due in part to their weight allowance. This year, things are much more normal, with no fillies in the Risen Star and a full field in the Alexandra Stakes.
More Twist Claims His Withers Win
Back in November, More Twist showed up in a maiden claiming race for a $12.500 tag. He hadn’t done much in his two previous starts, and no one would have an interest in claiming him that day. More Twist would go on to win that race and has left that class far behind.
