Impressive Closing Effort Earns Hiei Pacific Classic Victory
Last year, Hiei finished third in the BC Classic after a late run in the stretch saw him get within a half length. Now, he is assured of his chance to return to that race once again, just as long as his trainer, Fractious, wants him there. To do that, he had a similar late run but was able to get by them all to win the Pacific Classic.
Demanding Commander Steals the Show in KD Ladies Turf
We’ll have to wait a little to talk about La Terrifiant cracking $10,000.000 in career earnings, because the KD Ladies Turf would belong to Mb Stables. Demanding Commander and Wander would finish in the top two spots, capping off a great race for the trainer.
Mo Ki Mo Closes Well to Win KD Ladies Sprint
We had some rain fall at KD, and that left the turf simply as good and led to the scratches of two horses. That did not completely dampen the day, or the running of KD Ladies Sprint, as we still had eleven horses going to post, and Smokey Stover smiling in the winner’s circle after the race.

La Terrifiant Can Make History in KD Ladies Turf
The great La Terrifiant returns to the track on Saturday for the 68th time in her career, and hopes that this will be the race that pushes her over the $10,000.000 mark in lifetime earnings. Any finish in the top three would accomplish that while fourth would get her agonizingly close.
