Exemplary Breaks Winless Streak in Simpson Stakes
It had been eleven months since Exemplary last won a race, and he did not get off to a particularly strong start as a three year old. Recently, he had been showing signs of getting closer to that victory, and had run third in the Quick Call at SAR last month.
Lady Hilltopper Is Thoroughly Dominant in Ladies Marathon
Perhaps it needs to happen when the race is of a longer distance like the Ladies Marathon, but it is very rare to get a four length winner in our game in a $1,000.000 race when it was not an off track. This was the case on Saturday in the Ladies Marathon, when Lady Hilltopper left them in the dust in the stretch for the comfortable win.

It doesn’t have as high of a purse as other races at KD may have on Saturday, but there is never anything wrong with running for $1,000.000. That’s what a field of ten will do in the third running of the Ladies Marathon. As it’s name suggests, it is a long race, going a little more than a mile and a quarter.

Interesting Blend of Horses in Simpson Stakes
The next big race at KD for Saturday to look at will be the sixth running of the Simpson Stakes, which runs as a Grade 1 for the first time this year. In 2019, the race debuted as a Grade 3 for $500.000, and was promoted to a Grade 2 two years later. The purse also has doubled from last year’s $1,000.000 amount, making this race increasingly prestigious.
