Saturday night (Nov. 12) at The Meadowlands featured some of the sport's developing talent competing for big money in four finals for the Kindergarten Classic, a race with finals for two-year-olds of each gait and sex.

Nine fillies and mares, including Queen’s Plate winner Moira, will vie for top prize in the Grade 1 $750,000 E.P. Taylor Stakes, up from $600,000 last year, part of a stellar stakes-filled Saturday card of racing at Woodbine.  

On Sunday (Sept. 18) The Red Mile hosted the most lucrative card in its history with eight $400,000 Kentucky Championship series finals for freshman and sophomore female and male trotters and pacers and two $100,000 Kentucky Commonwealth series finals for sophomore trotting fillies and male freshman pacers. Favorites provided their supporters with winning tickets but there were plenty of surprises on the 10-race card.

Some guys have all the luck. Daniel Plouffe, for instance.

Crantini went a 1:56.2 mile to win his second-consecutive Pennsylvania Sire Stakes (PASS) outing during the Thursday afternoon (July 21) card at Harrah’s Philadelphia, while French Wine broke his maiden while going three-fifths of a second faster in capturing the other $75,816 division.

He might have a way to go to get his connections even, but Little Expensive is well on his way.

A morning of sunshine and mild heat draped East Rutherford, N.J. for another session of Breakfast at the Babies on Saturday (June 25) at The Meadowlands.

It was Prospect Series mania at Flamboro Downs on Thursday evening as the half-mile oval hosted a total of six divisions for the sophomore set.
