Grade II

Jerk Pork Cooks Up a Muniz Memorial Handicap Win

After winning the Benson Memorial Stakes, TwinTowersRacing would send Jerk Pork to the gate, looking for another win before the bigger races took place at FG. After a strong second in the Grade 3 TAM Stakes, there was hope that the five year old gelding could build on that, but this was a tough field.

Whoa! It’s Time for Muniz Memorial Handicap

Saturday is a big day at FG, as the schedule is highlighted by the Mike LaRosa LA Derby, but before we get there, we have the 21st running of the Muniz Memorial Handicap. This race has been a Grade 2 since its inception, and while the purse isn’t the $500.000 that it was 2005, it’s been constant at $300.000 since 2014.
