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.
