• Retaliate Furthers His BC Case with Gallant Bob Stakes Win

  By Nynl Stables on September 23, 2023

  The BC Sprint is in six weeks, and it is safe to say that we have our favorite for the race. That would be Retaliate, who came into the Gallant Bob Stakes off of wins in both the Grade 1 Crosby and the Grade 1 Jerkens Memorial Stakes, which would be enough to make him one of the favorites on that basis.

• Mamba Has Little Trouble in Winning PRX Dirt Mile

  By Nynl Stables on September 23, 2023

  Over his career, Mamba has been a successful horse that has finished in the money for most of his races, but actually winning a race had not happened much. In his prior start, he would win for only the second time in 16 starts, making us wonder if he could make it two in a row.

• Seven Will Be at the Gates for The Bourbon Trail

  By Nynl Stables on September 19, 2023

  The Bourbon Trail is a race for three year olds that want to go long, sending them almost a mile and a quarter around the main track here at CD. It’s a newer event on the schedule, having first appeared in 2021 when it ran for a $275.000 purse, making it a lot like the Harrods Creek in that respect.

• Timber Snake Is Poised to Step Up in Harrods Creek

  By Nynl Stables on September 19, 2023

  It’s time now to take a look at The Harrods Creek, which is one of the newer additions to the schedule at CD. The race runs for the third time, debuting in 2021 for a $275.000 purse where it was won by Mr Frost. We see an increase to the purse level this year, so perhaps an official graded designation will be in the future for this race.

• Up She Flew Headlines the Field in Dogwood

  By Nynl Stables on September 19, 2023

  Taking a look at the action at CD on Saturday, we get started with a race that recovered its graded designation after losing that status for six years. This is a race that has been very different throughout its history, with multiple distances having been run, and then originating as a Grade 3 and before losing that classification in 2016.

• Fractious And Beach Xaar Look to Continue PRX Dirt Mile Dominance

  By Nynl Stables on September 19, 2023

  Continuing our look at the races at PRX on Saturday, it’s time for the PRX Dirt Mile, which is a newer race to the schedule at the race track. It’s in just the third year of existence, first appearing in 2021 when it was won by the late Mr Charming.

• Retaliate Looks to Stay Scorching Hot in Gallant Bob

  By Nynl Stables on September 19, 2023

  There’s plenty of incentive for sprinters to make their way to PRX on Saturday, as the 17th running of the Gallant Bob Stakes takes place. This race has not always had the prestige as it now does, beginning as an ungraded race for a $150.000 purse. That is something that would change quickly, and it would officially become a graded race in 2013.
