The Fayette Ends in a Dead Heat

There is no denying that Figured The Storm has figured out how to be a great race horse this year, coming into The Fayette with five wins in ten starts as a four year old. Make that six of eleven, but he will share that win First Sargeant, who had commanded two wins in eight starts in 2022 before this race.

Six Look for a Spark in Twilight Derby

A field of six three year olds will be heading to the starting gate for the 17th running of the Twilight Derby, going nine furlongs on the turf course. The details of this race have been very consistent over those years as well. Past winners include Xray Eyes, Seven Years, and Winter Solstice.

Ten To Do Combat in This Year’s Fayette

Last year, one of the best horses in the game, Combat Wombat, made an appearance in the Fayette and ended up getting the win. This year, we might not have a horse of that caliber going to post, but we still end up with a very good field of ten horses looking to take home the winner’s share of the largest purse ever offered by the race.
