  • Competitive Field Lined Up for The Woodward

    A strong field of nine will be headed to the starting gate for what is listed by the game as being just the sixth running of the Grade 1 Woodward. The race debut in 2005, but supposedly took a long hiatus between 2006 and 2020 before reappearing in 2021 to be won by Splash Mountain.

  • Individuation And Crack Dab Headline Lukas Classic

    The field may not be large for the Lukas Classic, but this Grade 2 from CD will provide us some pretty big names, including both Individuation and Crack Dab. Altogether, there are only six horses going to post, but this has never been a race to draw a large field even with it having appealing conditions.

  • Siouxbiscuit Prevails in a Photo Finish in Dogwood

    Over the course of her three year old campaign, Siouxbiscuit has been highly productive, but a series of close calls at the wire has likely left Mb Stables thinking that the filly could have done so much more. She’s been a little snake-bit, and her last race where she missed the headbob at the wire in the Grade 1 Test is a good example of that.

  • Wyatt Langmore Is Too Much for His Harrods Creek Competition

    The Harrods Creek ran for the third time on Saturday, with a field of ten looking to pick up the winners portion of the $300.000 purse. Getting the upper hand here would be the Fractious- trained Wyatt Langmore, a gelding by Count The Stars that the trainer picked up with a $25.000 claim in February.

  • From The Gate, At The Gates Is Dominant in Bourbon Trail

    When we last saw At The Gates, he struggled mightily in the slop at the Travers. Surely, he was a better horse than that, as his prior race on a sloppy track, coming here at CD, was also very poor. There was no reason to worry about rain this time around, as the track was fast, and the opportunity was there for At The Gates to redeem himself.

  • Wavy Girl Runs Away With Cotillion

    Every year, the Cotillion can be counted on for having a great field that will send several runners to the BC Distaff. That won’t be any different this year, and winning the race can be a great way to make a statement that you should be one of the favorites for that race. Holding that distinction will be Wavy Girl, who was the post time favorite going in.
