  • Last Way To The Beac Shows the Way with Comfortable Whittingham Stakes Win

    By on

    The field for the Whittingham Stakes was very impressive, and certainly worthy of competing against once another for twice as much as the $225.000 purse that was offered for the race. This made it a tough race to pick, and given that, Last Way To The Beac’s recent races against the best in the division overshadowed his recent victories.

    By on

    It was a great day for Arindel in the Star Shoots, as his two fillies took the top spots!

    By on

    Sunday racing at SA will feature the 16th running of the Grade 3 Wilshire Stakes and it will send a field of five one mile around the turf course. The purse for the race is $100.000, something it has always been since the race’s inception in 2006. My first impression of this field is that it is incredibly balanced.
