At 73/1, Mo Temptation Splashes Away to The MTH Oaks Win

It was not a nice day out at many tracks across the northeast, and MTH was right in the thick of the bad weather on this day. Soaking rains left the track sloppy, but that would certainly not dampen the spirits of anyone who bet on the winner, Mo Temptation, as the D J C Racing Stables filly lit up the tote board at odds of 73/1.

Prince George Claims The Amsterdam Crown

Prince George seemed like he should be one of the favorites for the running on the Amsterdam on Friday, as he had been running well and recently scored a 101 SRF in a victory at the Lang Stakes. There were several in the field that also ran there, but if Prince George could beat them before, surely he could do so again. He would be our pick and was the second choice of the bettors.

The MTH Oaks Sends Eight to the Gate

The highlight of the day at MTH on Saturday will be the 18th running of the MTH Oaks, sending three year old fillies a little more than a mile over the main track. It is a race that debuted in 2006, and up until last year, saw it’s purse range from between $100.000 and $200.000.

Royal Horses Look Like Favorites in The Amsterdam

On Friday, the highlight of the day at SAR will be the 21st running of the Grade 3 Amsterdam, sending a full field of twelve a total of six and a half furlongs on the main track. This race provides a great opportunity for trainers to give their horses a race to prepare for the BC Sprint, while keeping them away from older horses if they felt that is best.
