During the TC season, we learned the names of many three year olds who seemed to be the best in the division. Prep races have come and gone, as well as the TC races themselves. Now, we begin to think ahead to the BC Classic, and the best three year old for that race might be a horse that was never on the TC trail.

Jinxed Authority Lights Up the Board in The SAR Special
At the beginning of the meet, Jinxed Authority broke his maiden against NY-breds at five and a half furlongs at 16/1.

It’s Travers Time Already!
It might seem a little too early, as the month of August is just getting underway, but the Midsummer Derby is upon us. The differences between the Travers within our game and in the real world are pretty interesting right now, but here, it really is business as usual other then the early date.
