All the Stakes previews and reviews.

Shoemaker Mile Field Looks Electric

By on

Memorial Day action is plentiful, and among the card on this holiday where we remember our fallen heros is the 21st running of the Shoemaker Mile, a race that may have only drawn a field of six, but among them will be the last two winners of the race.

The PRK Has No Real Drama in the Stretch

By on

It was time for the PRK, and race fans would make KYD winner Extreme Jet a heavy favorite in the Pick ‘em. He’d be one of seven horses in the race that also ran two weeks ago, so there would be questions about how they would handle the other seven in the field that had more rest.

Christmas In May for Ello Santa in The Dinner Party Stakes

By on

Five horses would take part in the Dinner Party Stakes, and many people expected a showdown between Ello Santa and Grand Opening, as the two took 75% of the selections in the Pick ‘em. This corrected the morning line odds seeing otherwise, and these two would end up taking the top two positions in a tightly contested race.

Reorganize Earns Convincing Gallorette Win

By on

The Gallorette Stakes would be just the third race for Reorganize since she won the Mrs Revere at CD six months ago. While she didn’t win either of the starts after it, there was nothing wrong with her effort in either, and she seemed like one of the top choices here at PIM on Saturday.

Presenting The Field For The 2025 PRK

By on

As early as October 2023, and lasting throughout the year in 2024, trainers bred horses with the dream of creating a TC champion in 2025. From there, we watched them grow, and the biggest contenders would soon begin to make themselves known. Months of prep races to begin this year would separate the best of the best, and a field of 20 would head to the starting gate for the KYD.
