A new stake has been added to the schedule this year, and it is quite a good one. The Mint Million is debuting at KD, and presents a $1,000.000 Purse to be divided amongst the top four finishers. It will allow this track to get some of the attention on a busy Monday that will be the final day of the meets at both SAR and DMR.

Shes One Of A Kind Makes It Look Easy in ONT Colleen Stakes
Six horses went to the starting gate for the ONT Colleen Stakes, and weather would not be a problem this far north, so the turf course was firm. This would be a race where the horses that were expected to do the best ended up stepping up and running well.

Half the Field Wins The Iselin Stakes
This area experienced some rain, downgrading the track to good, and that may have been the reason for the scratch of Tomahawks. The filly was the main storyline of the race, to see how her potential nine pound weight allowance would help. With her no longer in the picture, we were down to four runners, and half of them would end up as winners.
No Standouts in Wide Open ONT Colleen Stakes
Sunday will be an exciting day of racing north of the border, and as we get ready for the Queen’s Plate, we have much more on the undercard. One of those races is the twelfth running of the ONT Colleen Stakes, a mile long turf race for three year old fillies.
Enormous Weight Allowance May Make Difference in The Iselin Stakes
Only five horses will be going to the gate for the Iselin Stakes, but that does not mean a lack of quality. Two horses have amassed over $1,300.000 in earnings, with another just a bit shy of $700.000. Therefore, we should still have a good and entertaining race on Saturday.
