We had some rain fall at KD, and that left the turf simply as good and led to the scratches of two horses. That did not completely dampen the day, or the running of KD Ladies Sprint, as we still had eleven horses going to post, and Smokey Stover smiling in the winner’s circle after the race.

La Terrifiant Can Make History in KD Ladies Turf
The great La Terrifiant returns to the track on Saturday for the 68th time in her career, and hopes that this will be the race that pushes her over the $10,000.000 mark in lifetime earnings. Any finish in the top three would accomplish that while fourth would get her agonizingly close.
KD Ladies Sprint Looks Very Competitive
It’s a big day at KD on Saturday, and turf horses could not be any happier. Part of the card features the ninth running of the KD Ladies Sprint, a $1.000.000 race for females. It’s a fantastic opportunity, and it should come as no surprise that we will have a nearly full field as thirteen horses head to the starting gate.
