Lunar Victory Thoroughly Dominates in The Blame
If Fractious decided to scratch Lunar Victory because of the sloppy track conditions, no one would have criticized the move. The gelding had struggled in his previous off track races but things were about to be much different in the Blame. On this day, Lunar Victory thrived in the rain, scoring a two length, wire to wire win!
El Salvador Thrives in the Slop to Win The Shawnee
Rain made a mess of CD on Saturday, leaving the track sloppy and soft for the day’s races. That also meant a couple scratches for The Shawnee, leaving us with a field of seven for the race. The weather forecast likely made Iolaus Racing thrilled even before the race, since El Salvador has proven she is a mudder.
Classy City Shows Plenty of Class in PEN Mile Victory
Classy City had an excellent two year old season that saw him win the BC Juvenile Turf, but thus far in 2024, he had not picked up that big win in a graded race. It may not have helped him that he had been dealing with soft turf in his last two starts and that would not be a concern in the PEN Mile.
