It’s Travers Day at SAR, and that means plenty of good races on the undercard as well! Here, we’ll take a look at the 22nd running of the Lake Placid, which is held on the inner turf course for three year old fillies, at a mile. The purse for the race has doubled from where it had been in recent years, and the $400.000 represents a new high for this race.

Previously, we looked at the CT Oaks, so now it’s time to check out the other massive race taking part at everyone’s favorite bullring: the CT Classic. This race first appeared on the schedule in 2010 and has seen some true virtual racing legends get the win. After all, the first two winners were Madhouse and Mrs Bombastic!

Some of the top three old fillies have made their way to CT for the fourteenth running of the CT Oaks, a seven furlong race that offers a generous $750.000 purse. This is the second year that the race has been classified as a Grade 2, and it is the third year that it has run for that high of an amount.
