Laki and Lewisfield — one-two in their MATCH Series division, each with a chance at the overall title — reconvene Saturday in a rugged renewal of the De Francis Dash.
The overall championship of the MATCH Series, as well as several divisions, have yet to be determined, but here are four races that have defined the series thus far.
Laki and Lewisfield crossed the wire in Sunday’s Polynesian Stakes at Laurel together, with Laki put up via DQ to take the lead in the MATCH Series.
Making just his second start since last May, Laki romped to victory in Laurel Park’s allowance feature and may be headed back to stakes company.
Laki – a grandson of Not for Love – won the inaugural Not for Love Stakes by taking another step forward in his maturation process.
