Next up, we’ll be taking a look at the Grade 2 City Of Hope Mile from SA. This is a turf race that runs for the 17th time, after debuting in 2005, but taking a couple years off during the previous decade. There will be nine headed to the starting gate and they will be able to provide us with an entertaining race.

California Sun Could Be a Fitting Winner of SA Sprint Championship
With the BC Sprint now just a month away, we’re still looking to see who some of the biggest challengers may be to Retaliate within this division. The SA Sprint Championship will send a field of ten to the starting gate, and there aren’t any soft spots anywhere within this field, so get ready for a competitive race.
Final BC Classic Qualifier Runs Saturday with Awesome Again Stakes
It’s time for the final “win and you’re in” race for the BC Classic as the Grade 1 Awesome Again Stakes takes place from SA. A group of eleven horses are looking to either capitalize on this final shot to get into the race, or to cement themselves as one of the top choices for the Classic, which will take place now in just a little over a month right here at SA.
Competitive Field Lined Up for The Woodward
A strong field of nine will be headed to the starting gate for what is listed by the game as being just the sixth running of the Grade 1 Woodward. The race debut in 2005, but supposedly took a long hiatus between 2006 and 2020 before reappearing in 2021 to be won by Splash Mountain.
Individuation And Crack Dab Headline Lukas Classic
The field may not be large for the Lukas Classic, but this Grade 2 from CD will provide us some pretty big names, including both Individuation and Crack Dab. Altogether, there are only six horses going to post, but this has never been a race to draw a large field even with it having appealing conditions.

Siouxbiscuit Prevails in a Photo Finish in Dogwood
Over the course of her three year old campaign, Siouxbiscuit has been highly productive, but a series of close calls at the wire has likely left Mb Stables thinking that the filly could have done so much more. She’s been a little snake-bit, and her last race where she missed the headbob at the wire in the Grade 1 Test is a good example of that.
