Royal Valor has had a successful 2023, winning four of his eight races, and would end up running fifth in the BEL a couple months ago.
Grade III
Mb Stables Has a Strong Trio for Jones Stakes
Taking a moment to look ahead, we will have entertaining racing at PRX on Tuesday as the thirteenth running on the Jones Stakes takes place. This isn’t a small run of the mill midweek stake, either, as it will feature multiple runners that ran in the Haskell, and others who ran in at least one prep race for the KYD.
From Way Back To A Stake Record, Ginger Clean Wins Iselin Stakes
The Iselin Stakes had all the makings on paper of a tightly contested race where any of the horses involved could either win or finish at the back of the pack.

An Easy 1-2 Finish For Mb Stables In The SAR Oaks
It was a wet one in Upstate New York today, and virtual SAR was not spared from the rain. The result of this precipitation left us with a yielding turf course and two horses, Copper Jewels and Bombing For Peace, scratching out. That meant that our pick to win the race would not be taking part.
