Pennsylvania-bred Angel of Empire was named the Top Midlantic-bred of 2023 after a campaign that saw him win the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby.
In a pair of PA-bred stakes at Parx Racing Monday, Twisted Ride narrowly prevailed in the Page McKenney and Morning Matcha scored in the Unique Bella.
With neither having raced since the prior Top Midlantic-bred Poll, three-year-old Luna Belle and Just One Time remained atop the tables.
Just One Time was the voters’ unanimous choice as top older horse among Midlantic-breds, while Luna Belle held down the top spot among sophomores.
Scaramouche showed his flashy maiden score was no fluke, and Morning Matcha was a popular winner as Parx Racing held four stakes today.
