Jerk Pork Cooks Up a Muniz Memorial Handicap Win

After winning the Benson Memorial Stakes, TwinTowersRacing would send Jerk Pork to the gate, looking for another win before the bigger races took place at FG.

Alicent Looks to Stay Hot at FG in Benson Memorial Stakes

For the seventh time, the ungraded Benson Memorial Stakes will take place at FG, and it will send a field of six older females a little more than a mile on the turf course. It’ll be the third time that the race has run for $150.000, and that’s up from the $100.000 that was offered for the first edition of the race back in 2020.
