Chopstick Should Be One to Beat in My Trusty Cat

This Friday at DED, we will have the third running of the My Trusty Cat, which is for two year old fillies on the main track. This race first appeared on the schedule in 2014, but would not be run a second time until last year. In 2021, the distance of the race has been changed to a mile, as it had been a seven furlong race in the previous two editions.

Strong Late Run Gives East Of Creep A Hope Stakes Win

In the Grade 3 Hope Stakes, our field was predominantly filled with up and comers, making the race seemingly up for grabs. It would be a great chance for a horse to make a great impression, and the one doing that in this race would be East Of Creep, for Barcelona Farms. This is a horse that debuted, like many others, in April of this year, but did not hit the track again until August.

Hang Around Comfortably Wins The Autumn Stakes

The post-time favorite for the Autumn Stakes would not disappoint, as the shot, Hang Around, pulled off a two length win over his four rivals. This well bred horse by Wreaking Havoc came into the race off a win in the Durham Cup, a very similar race that was run here a month ago and those who remembered that were eager to show their support to the gelding once again.
