This Saturday, we will see a group of promising two year olds who hope to make the BC Juvenile in a little less than two months and perhaps even return here on the first Saturday of May next year. It’s the 22nd running of the Iroquois, which is held at a mile and offers a $300.000 purse.

Perhaps it needs to happen when the race is of a longer distance like the Ladies Marathon, but it is very rare to get a four length winner in our game in a $1,000.000 race when it was not an off track. This was the case on Saturday in the Ladies Marathon, when Lady Hilltopper left them in the dust in the stretch for the comfortable win.

It doesn’t have as high of a purse as other races at KD may have on Saturday, but there is never anything wrong with running for $1,000.000. That’s what a field of ten will do in the third running of the Ladies Marathon. As it’s name suggests, it is a long race, going a little more than a mile and a quarter.
