Star of Night overcame a stubborn Privately to remain undefeated in 2021, win the WVBC Cavada and make her case for state-bred horse of the year.
With the West Virginia Breeders’ Classics coming up Saturday, October 9, here are five story lines we’ll be following on the big night.
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.
Castle Bound rallied from well back to score a $138 upset in Saturday’s West Virginia Breeders Classic at Charles Town, while favorite Anna’s Bandit took the Cavada.
Defending champ Runnin’toluvya is a strong choice in Saturday’s WVBC Classic, and Anna’s Bandit is odds-on in the Cavada.
Defending champ – and likely strong favorite – Late Night Pow Wow will bypass Saturday’s WVBC Cavada after getting a bit dinged up in her last start.
Three-year-old Late Night Pow Wow narrowly bested her elders in a thrilling renewal of the $125,000 WV Cavada Breeders Classic.
Trainer Tim Grams expects to saddle only three horses on WV Breeders Classics night. But Moonlit Song and Runnin’toluvya give him a shot to take the two biggest races on the card.
