We haven’t seen a lot of No More Rattle, as the six year old gelding was only making his sixth start since 2022, but he has made the most of the races he has been in. Coming into race off a third place run in the Hooper, he seemed like one of the top choices in the field and was the race’s post time favorite.

Star Studded Field in GP Mile
Without knowing the details, if I said that the reigning BC Dirt Mile winner, Lunar Victory, was going to go up against the likes of Retaliate and Baffert, you would probably assume that it was a Grade 1 for a very large purse. Not that there is anything wrong with the Grade 2 GP Mile, it just seems like they deserve to be running for more than $215.000.
Group Of Up and Comers in Colonel Liam
Eight horses have made the trip to GP for the 22nd running of the Colonel Liam, and will enjoy the opportunity to cash in on the largest purse that has been offered by the race. The $215.000 exceeds the amount that was available even when the race was graded from inception through 2020.
