Last month for the Dandy, there was a no rain and the track went off as fast. In it, Mb Stables would score a 1-2 finish with Wahpekute Sioux edging out stablemate Jacks Courage at the wire. The two of them would return here for the Travers, but under much different circumstances as a virtual rainstorm left the track sloppy for the day’s races.

Riggins Racing is certainly no stranger to success at the highest levels, but with his barn not being as active as it had been in the past, we have been unable to talk about him winning major races at the same frequency. He’s had plenty of reason to celebrate thus far in his return, and now in the Ballerina, he can do a little dancing as well, because he’s clinched another spot in the BC.
