Heeza Dime Earns Wire-to-Wire Fleet Sprint Handicap Win
Asgar picked up Heeza Dime last September in the auction, and while the horse had been successful for his prior connections, he was never given the opportunity to run at the graded level. He’d get that chance in his last start, and while he ran well, he came home empty handed.

Big Blue Brilliantly Stretches Out and Wins Transylvania Stakes
A big turf race took place on Friday in the running of the Grade 3 Transylvania Stakes at KEE, and some rain came in to affect the track just enough for it to be downgraded to “good” status. That would not be a problem for Big Blue, a horse that ran in the BC Juvenile Turf Sprint last fall, and was stretching out for the first time.

Three-Year-Old Turfsters Get Their Chance to Shine in Transylvania Stakes
With last weekend behind us, we can start looking ahead into racing in April, and before we get into the big Saturday preps, we have this nice $600.000 turf race from KEE on Friday in the Grade 3 Transylvania Stakes. That purse amount is a new high for the race, and a considerable increase from the $150.000 that it was at as recently as 2021.
Licit Captures OP Mile at 15/1
While there may have only been six horses in the OP Mile field, it was a strong and deep field, so when Licit saw his odds shoot up to 15/1, it wasn’t that people thought he was a bad horse, there were simply more appealing runners in the field. It’s a bit of a shame that the OP Mile was not picked for one of the Pick ‘em races, because it would have been interesting to see how others saw this field.
