It was some early morning racing at CD this morning, as the 10:00am post time saw a field of four run in the Falls City Stakes. We would have one scratch in the race, and it was the one we picked to win: Two Phils. This moved up Skydancer to be our pick, and the Riggins Racing filly would score a convincing three length victory!

Will There Be One or Two Winners in Falls City Stakes?
With all three of my races ending in dead heats last weekend, I am hoping to be able to report on solo winners this week. On Turkey Day, the Falls City Stakes take place at CD with a brand new look. This race used to be a handicap, but that will not be the case in 2024.

Winned And Were Wolf Gets W’s in Commonwealth Turf
Well, I guess I was due. After hearing others talk about the dead heats in the races they have been covering, I was thinking that it actually had been a little while since I had one. With the game reading my mind, we get a dead heat this afternoon in the Commonwealth Turf.

Six horses will be heading to the starting gate for the 15th running of the Commonwealth Turf, a race for three years olds on the turf at a mile and a sixteenth.
