Mb Stables Kicks Off Dominant Day with Battle Plan in Wood Memorial
There were three 100-point KYD races that took place on Saturday, and Mb Stables did not need to win any of them. He had qualified more horses to the race than he will be allowed to enter, but that did not stop him from trying to win these races, for the prestige and purse monies that they offer. When the smoke cleared, Mb Stables would celebrate a victory in all three of these races, with Battle Plan being the one who got it done to start the day in the Wood Memorial.
Albaquirky Comes from Behind to Win Shakertown
A field of ten made their way to KEE for the running of the Grade 2, Shakertown, and one of the big questions surrounding this race would be how much of an impact would the eight pound weight allowance that the three year olds in the race actually be? For this time anyway, it would not make any kind of difference at all, as the top three horses in the race were older.
Ideal Info Snaps Winless Streak in Commonwealth
The Grade 3 Commonwealth had the appearance of a wide open race, and that would play out with a tight, three-way photo occurring at the wire. Prevailing in that would be Ideal Info, a gelding trained by Arindel that needed a good race after a couple of stinkers leading into it.
