Following Charles Town Classic night, the top contenders for the biggest races on WV Breeders’ Classics (WVBC) night began to come into focus.
Friday’s state-bred Sadie Hawkins Stakes at Charles Town provides a rematch of Star of Night and Bridging the Gap, one-two in last year’s My SIster Pearl.
The showdown between WVBC winners Star of Night and Bridging the Gap did not disappoint, as Star of Night won the My Sister Pearl Stakes at Charles Town.
John McKee had a huge West Virginia Breeders Classics night, winning multiple races in his roles as owner, trainer, breeder, and stallion owner.
Favored Bridging the Gap was fractious in the gate but good as gold once it opened and went on to post a dominant win in the WVBC Cavada.
When she was three, Bridging the Gap suffered a case of EPM so severe a vet recommended she be put down. Saturday she’ll be the favorite in the WVBC Cavada.
