The Estate of R. Larry Johnson sends out the defending champions of both Saturday stakes, the $100,000 Meadow Stable and $100,000 Camptown, as trainer Mike Trombetta’s runners Determined Kingdom and Hollywood Walk headline the sibling 5½-furlong turf sprint handicaps for older Virginia-bred, -sired or -certified Thoroughbreds at Colonial Downs.

With nine races on tap, the Camptown is slated as Race 7, immediately followed by the Meadow Stable. Post time is set for 12:30 p.m. ET.

The Trombetta barn is seeking its second consecutive sweep of Colonial’s stakes after two-year-olds Just Philtored and Doubting Thomas prevailed last Saturday.

Determined Kingdom, the 8-5 morning line favorite, will take on 11 older males in the Meadow Stable, including last year’s runner-up Whenigettoheaven. The two met again in June, and Whenigettoheaventurned the tables on Determined Kingdom in the Ben’s Cat Stakes at Laurel Park.

Determined Kingdom exits an impressive effort in the Troy (G2) at Saratoga, finishing a game third behind Bring Theband Home. Boasting six local wins, the 2024 Virginia-Bred Horse of the Year was previously trained by Phil Schoenthal but joined Trombetta ahead of his 6-year-old campaign. Drawing post 8, Determined Kingdom will be piloted by Mychel Sanchez.

Ken Ramsey’s Whenigettoheaven (7-2) has earned back-to-back Ben’s Cat titles, edging Determined Kingdom in the final strides in June. The 6-year-old son of Street Magician, trained by Nolan Ramsey, comes into the Meadow Stable off that victory. J.G. Torrealba takes the call and the pair leave from the rail.

Set to defend her Camptown title against nine older fillies and mares, Hollywood Walk exits the most prestigious stakes win of her career. Receiving a perfect rail-skimming trip from Mychel Sanchez, the Virginia-bred scored an upset in the Andy Guest Stakes on the Arlington Million (G1) undercard.

With lifetime earnings of $482,731, the 6-year-old Animal Kingdom mare is a half-sibling to Mindframe, one of the sport’s top older dirt routers. She is 9-5 on the morning line.

Chief among her competition is stablemate and fellow Johnson homebred Noquestionaboutit. The 3-year-old Great Notion filly moved up in class to win the Glenn Petty in her first stakes try. Noquestionaboutit drew post 8 and will be reunited with Jorge Ruiz.

But perhaps her most notable rival – and the 5-2 second choice on the morning line – is five-year-old Bosserati. The speedy Holy Boss mare finished fourth in the Andy Guest but two races prior to that, she won The Very One at Pimlico for her third stakes win. She also defeated the boys in the 2024 Maryland Million Turf Sprint. Sheldon Russell will be aboard for his wife, trainer Brittany Russell, and owner-breeder Joel Politi.
