As the cutoff to nominate horses for this approached, there was some concern that it might not fill. In the long run, we were able to get enough entries here, in the fourth running of the ungraded PRX Mile. There will be six heading to the starting gate, and the field looks very competitive.

Let Me Explain has done it again! This talented filly came into the $1,500.000 Dueling Grounds Derby with ten wins in fifteen races, and had won the Acorn, BEL Oaks, and SAR Oaks in succession. This made her the favorite as well as being our pick to win, and she did not disappoint.

The big races at KD aren’t only weekends, as this Wednesday, we will have $1,500.000 at stake in the third running of the Dueling Grounds Derby. That purse amount is double what was offered last year, so perhaps we will soon see this race receive a graded designation. It is held exclusively for three year old filles, sending them over a mile and a quarter.
