Knicks Go today was named the Top Midlantic-bred of 2020 in polling conducted by Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred and The Racing Biz.
Four of the top 10 in the latest Top Midlantic-bred Poll were in action this past weekend, but only Harpers First Ride was able to burnish his resume.
Harpers First Ride and Laki, third and sixth in the Top Midlantic-bred Poll, headline Laurel Park’s eight-stake day December 26.
Four of the 10 members of the Top Midlantic-bred Poll were in action this past weekend. How’d they do?
Saturday’s Frank Whiteley Stakes at Laurel Park is absolutely stacked, featuring 10 stakes winners, among them last-out Grade 3 De Francis Dash winner Laki.
In the first Top Midlantic-bred Poll of 2020, it’s Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Knicks Go, one of 7 Maryland-breds, who zooms to the head of the class.
It felt like no Preakness we’ve experienced, but If you weren’t moved by Saturday’s racing at Pimlico, then it’s fair to say you don’t like horse racing.
Two noses were all that separated first from third in the Grade 3 De Francis Dash Saturday at PImlico, with Laki getting the bob.
Multiple stakes winner Laki will be considered for the Grade 3 De Francis Dash October 3 at Pimlico, trainer Damon Dilodovico said.
Arch Cat, a stakes-placed winner of 13 races, scored a 10-1 upset in today’s Laurel Park feature, a $55,000 open allowance for older runners.
