  • Stinky Rene Runs Swiftly In Stretch To Capture Taylor Stakes

    By on

    It’s almost hard to believe that just two months ago at the Beverly D, I was looking at that race and saw Stinky Rene has being an unlikely candidate to win. Something has happened with this filly, and whatever it is that TwinTowersRacing figured out to get her to finally show the ability that he always knew that she had, it has translated into victories.

  • Demanding Commander Painlessly Prevails in First Lady

    By on

    You know it’s a fantastic day of virtual racing when a $750.000 Grade 1 isn’t big enough to get into an eight-race Pick ’em! That’s because it was not a “win and you’re in” race for the BC, but in spite of that, you can count on several horses from this race running in the BC at SA next month. Demanding Commander was not one of them in 2022 despite having a good season that saw her win close to $700.000.

  • Purple Charger Opens Up And Hangs On To Win Alcibiades

    By on

    In July, Fractious purchased Purple Charger for $550.000 a few weeks after winning the Astoria, and the investment is already paying off. The filly had look strong in her first two races for Fractious, winning the Schuylerville, but now a much greater purse would await her in the Alcibiades.

  • Let Me Explain Cruises By Rivals In Stretch To Win Jessamine

    By on

    Let Me Explain may have already been BC bound, but if there was any doubts about that, they were erased as this impressive two year old filly by People Pleaser picked up her fourth consecutive win in what was her first race going long. Safe to say, that went very well, and she didn’t look to run this in the same manner as she has become accustomed to early in her career.

  • Taylor Stakes Looks Stinky and Untidy

    By on

    On Sunday at WO, a field of seven fillies and mares will be heading to the starting gate for the 18th running of the Taylor Stakes, and one of them will be hoping that it ends in the same manner that last year’s did. The race is a ten furlong stake on the turf, with a generous $750.000 purse up for grabs amongst the top four finishers.
