Everyone loves racing their two year olds, and on Saturday at SAR, we will get a chance to see a group of them who’s trainers feel have what it takes to be graded horses. Some will prove to be exactly that, and some we will never hear from again at this level. The gate is full with twelve horses that will contest the Grade 3 Sanford and this race has seen some highly successful past winners.

Power Grid’s Late Run Gets Fractious 1-2 Dwyer Finish
The Dwyer was a great race for Fractious, as his two entries picked up 1-2 finish, with Power Grid topping stablemate Master And Commander, plus a slew of others vying for second, to grab the victory following a fantastic come from behind effort.
The Dwyer Draws a Field of Ten
As a part of the big card on Saturday at AQU, the Grade 3 Dwyer will be running with a field of ten, for a $200.000 purse. That’s the same amount that was offered last year, and is similar to what it has been for most of its history. A brief stint at $400.000 and even $500.000 was the exception, and not the norm.
