On Saturday at CD, we will have the 22nd running of the Louisville, which is a Grade 3 for older turf horses that like to run for a long time. The race began with a $100.000 purse and was at that point or similar until 2022 when it would reach $200.000. It’s present level of $250.000 will be the highest that has ever been at stake for the race.

Gaslight Makes It Look Easy in Wire-to-Wire Win in The Peter Pan
Gaslight could have run in the KYD last week, as he would have had enough points to get in as an also eligible ahead of Fun Runner. However, his trainer, Mb Stables, cannot have more than three horses in the race, so the gelding was instead sent here to AQU for The Peter Pan.
Gorilla Glue Makes Late Run Stick in Runhappy
Gorilla Glue wasn’t given much of a chance by the betting public, going off at odds of 21/1, making him the second longest shot on the board. We didn’t have him in our picks either, but the gelding stepped up and showed his good side en route to a win by a length.

The Gate Is Full for The Peter Pan
The Peter Pan is an appealing race for three year old that always runs right between the KYD and the PRK, and will give us a good blend of horses that were on the TC trail but not able to get into the big race, and others that just beginning to realize their true potential now.
