Penal Hockey Party Scores in Forester Turf Classic
Maxmillion Farm certainly seemed loaded up for the Forester Turf Classic, entering three of the nine horses. They all seemed like they had a good shot at the race win, and when it was all said and done, it’s a 1-2 finish for the trainer. Picking up the win would be Penal Hockey Party, a horse that had our support in the preview as well as the bettors at the track, as he was made the post-time favorite.

Quality Art Sets a Stake Record in Alysheba Victory
Last year on Derby Day, Quality Art picked up a win in the Knicks Go for his first stake win. Since then, he has only continued to do more and more on the track and even if he wasn’t winning the Grade 1’s that he was running in, he was quite often within a length of the winner and cashing a check.
Spring Street Comes from Way Back to Win Eight Belles
Everything seemed to be going great for Spring Street after she broke her maiden. She ran well in both the Forward Gal and the Honeybee, sending her on the path to potentially run in another race later on the card here on Friday at CD.
