Mo Mentum Farm Goes 1-2 In The Kings Plate
The Queens Plate, and now the Kings Plate, has been a great race for Mo Mentum Farm in the past, as the trainer has picked up two wins in it, with neither going back any further than 2017. That year, it was Laffin Parrot, and then in 2021 Freddo Cappuccino got the win. This year may have been an even better race for him, as not only did Mo Mentum Farm have the winner, he also had the second place finisher as well.

Raw And Real Looks Real Good In DMR Oaks
Heading into the DMR Oaks, Raw And Real had been a horse that knew how to find her way to the winner’s circle, taking half of her twelve career starts. She was coming off of a win in the Lake George, and seemed to be one of the top choices in the field.
From Way Back To A Stake Record, Ginger Clean Wins Iselin Stakes
The Iselin Stakes had all the makings on paper of a tightly contested race where any of the horses involved could either win or finish at the back of the pack. Our pick for the race would be Ginger Clean, for The Sidley Stud, and she would end up making us look pretty good as she would step up and win by a length and a half.
