No TC Winners, But Haskell Field Still Strong

With the TC races done with, it will be interesting to see where many of the top three year olds choose to race over the summer months. The Haskell is one of those great options, and while we will not see anyone who won a TC race this year in this race, there are plenty in this who had great runs in those races.

Wasted Away Headlines the Field in CCA Oaks

Wasted Away looks to continue her strong three year old campaign on Saturday in the 21st running of the Grade 1 CCA Oaks, a race that offers a $500.000 purse. We’ve seen on greats win this race in the past, such as Mrs Bombastic and Naples, and now we will see if the reigning KYO winner can get the win here at the “Graveyard of Favorites”.

Mb Stables Continues His Quick Call Dominance

Mb Stables has had plenty of success in the Quick Call, being the winning trainer in each of the three previous runnings of the race and four in total. For 2024, he would start two horses in hopes of extending his winning streak in the race, and Bad Fear would get the job done as he prevails by a neck over Awad at the wire.

Impressive Victory for Poetic Panther in Diana

There was so much to like about the running of the Diana given the quality of horses that were taking part in it. It would take a field of this high caliber for a filly like Poetic Panther to go off as a 13/1 longshot despite riding a three race winning streak. That streak is now at four, after what is truly the biggest victory of her career up to this point.
