Little Trouble for Wasted Away in CCA Oaks
Fresh off a win in the KYO and a runner up in the Acorn, Wasted Away seemed like the one to beat in the CCA Oaks and was made our pick, but the bettors chose another one to make the post time favorite.
Blazing Blazes His Way to BC Classic with Haskell Win
Blazing made quite an impression this spring when he won the FL Derby on just over two weeks rest to get into the KYD. He didn’t run badly in that race at all, but it always seemed like he would be one to watch extra closely once the TC races were over.
King Que Niagra Does It Again in The United Nations Stakes
The United Nations Stakes boasted an impressive field, and the biggest names in the race did not let us down. Amongst those stars in the game, there was one with a little bigger resume than the rest of them, and that would be King Que Niagra. After an incredible 2023, plus having won this race in the past, there was a lot to like about him.
King Que Niagra Looks to Win The United Nations Stakes for Second Time
King Que Niagra will be in action this Saturday, as the gelding is one of seven horses taking part in the 19th running of the United Nations Stakes from MTH. This is the first year that the race will be run as a grade 2, as it received a downgrade in its classification from last year, but the $600.000 purse was not changed.
No TC Winners, But Haskell Field Still Strong
With the TC races done with, it will be interesting to see where many of the top three year olds choose to race over the summer months. The Haskell is one of those great options, and while we will not see anyone who won a TC race this year in this race, there are plenty in this who had great runs in those races.
