This Saturday at DMR, the top race of the day will be the 20th running of the Seabiscuit Handicap, and there will be ten horses heading to post to try and win a race that has seen the likes of Barbarino and Five Spirits win in the past. The race had a higher purse back in the day, so it may have drawn stronger fields overall.

KY Jockey Club Should Be an Entertaining Affair
With the BC Juvenile come and gone, the next race to officially be targeted for two year olds is the KYD, as even though it can seem so far away right now, points have been awarded for the race since September.
