It's all about the 3yo's in the Matriarch, as Star Billing nips Summer Soiree. 
Gypsy’s Warning will try to become only the second repeat winner when she faces eight opponents in the $250,000 Matriarch Friday at Hollywood Park. Read More
Together (IRE) swept past Marketing Mix to win the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (G1) at Keeneland on Saturday.Read More
  • medlocke · Much better ride by Colm O'Donoghue on Together in the Q.E.II Challenge Cup than was the case in the First Lady Stakes. He seemed to have a lot of filly still left through the stretch run of this race, IMO. It's not that much of a surprise to me that Together won this race. This is a filly that was beaten by a neck by the still unbeaten White Moonstone in the G1 Fillies Mile at Ascot in 2010. She was beaten 3/4 of a length by Blue Bunting in this year's G1 English 1000 Guineas. Blue Bunting came out of that race to go on and win both the G1 Irish and G1 Yorkshire Oaks. She was beaten 3/4 of a length by stablemate Misty For Me in the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas. Misty For Me came out of that race to go on and defeat Midday in the G1 Pretty Polly Stakes in Ireland. Together also has 2nd place finishes to the Juddmonte filly, Emulous, in the G1 Matron Stakes in Ireland, and a 2nd place finish to Never Retreat in last week's G1 First Lady Stakes at Keenland. This is clearly a filly with some real talent to be running that well at G1 level. It was only a matter of time before Together finally got her nose across the wire first in a G1 stakes race, and yesterday just happened to be that race. · 224 days ago ·

  • rorschach1992 · Not many G1 races available for 3yo fillies on turf, at least in NY, which is where she races, which is why only the one G1 win. Disappointed at her race today, she just didn't have it, Together was very impressive though. Two G1s in a week, one win and a second, very good! · 225 days ago ·

  • KyOaksRunner · No anticipated late-kick from Winter Memories, perhaps the Garden City effort took more out of her than expected, but Together ran a great race. · 224 days ago ·

Eastern invader Summer Soiree, the 2-1 favorite under regular rider Gabriel Saez in his Del Mar debut, held on desperately in the final strides to win the featured Grade I $250,000 Del Mar Oaks for three-year-old fillies Saturday.Read More
  • Ann Maree · Great race, exciting, and I was glad that Nereid and Star Billing both finished on the board. I was hoping that Nereid might win for Eric Kronfeld! He has decided to throw aside his huge superstition and attend races of at least a couple of his horses, including when Eblouissante is raced for the first time! It's why I love this sport so much! Behind every horse, there is a great story. We get our hearts broken more often than not -- so few actually win! So, we are happy when they finish near the front anyway! It was a great day today for the Fillies, I thought! Sunday, can't wait for Winter Memories! Hope she is the freak we think she is! The Lake George was just incredible, and she looks nearly that good in all her wins! · 281 days ago ·
