Last week, the game made the admirable decision to honor Mike LaRosa, a man who should need no introduction to those reading the SRF. After all, if it were not for him, we wouldn’t have a SimRacing Form. FG was his home track, and now his legacy will live on with the LA Derby.

Looking for Someone to Shine in Latonia Stakes
Like the Rushaway Stakes, the Latonia Stakes is appearing on the schedule for the first time since 2020. This race does not have a lot of history within our game, being only run twice, and for purses of $75.000 and then $100.000. The increase to $250.000 should lead to his becoming a race of interest, and we are off to a good start.

Rushaway Stakes Returns with Increased Purse
Returning to the schedule in 2024 will be the Rushaway Stakes, a race that was last held in 2020 and was run inconsistently since 2006. The main reason for that was probably the purse level, as on a couple occasions, it went for under $100.000 and then was exactly that every other year.
