When we last saw At The Gates, he struggled mightily in the slop at the Travers. Surely, he was a better horse than that, as his prior race on a sloppy track, coming here at CD, was also very poor. There was no reason to worry about rain this time around, as the track was fast, and the opportunity was there for At The Gates to redeem himself.
Ungraded
Mamba Has Little Trouble in Winning PRX Dirt Mile
Over his career, Mamba has been a successful horse that has finished in the money for most of his races, but actually winning a race had not happened much. In his prior start, he would win for only the second time in 16 starts, making us wonder if he could make it two in a row.
Seven Will Be at the Gates for The Bourbon Trail
The Bourbon Trail is a race for three year olds that want to go long, sending them almost a mile and a quarter around the main track here at CD. It’s a newer event on the schedule, having first appeared in 2021 when it ran for a $275.000 purse, making it a lot like the Harrods Creek in that respect.
Timber Snake Is Poised to Step Up in Harrods Creek
It’s time now to take a look at The Harrods Creek, which is one of the newer additions to the schedule at CD. The race runs for the third time, debuting in 2021 for a $275.000 purse where it was won by Mr Frost. We see an increase to the purse level this year, so perhaps an official graded designation will be in the future for this race.
Fractious And Beach Xaar Look to Continue PRX Dirt Mile Dominance
Continuing our look at the races at PRX on Saturday, it’s time for the PRX Dirt Mile, which is a newer race to the schedule at the race track. It’s in just the third year of existence, first appearing in 2021 when it was won by the late Mr Charming.

Starship Twister Is the Class of the Field in Open Mind
It may not have had a graded designation, but the $300.000 purse offered for the Open Mind made it a nice part of a busy day at CD. The race is a sprint for fillies and mares, and it would be won by the most experienced horse amongst them.
