LOUISIANA SUPER DERBY - Saturday, 6:10 p.m. EDT, and
PRESQUE ISLE MASTERS STAKES - Saturday, 7:30 p.m. EDT
No Grade 1s in the U.S., but some interesting racing fare, nonetheless, with the two major races being the Grade 2 $500,000 SUPER DERBY at Louisiana Downs, and the Grade 2 $400,000 MASTERS STAKES at Presque Isle Downs for fillies and mares, running at 6.5 furlong, all on Saturday.
Mike Watchmaker with the DRF believes that Fly Lexis Fly is the horse to beat in the Super Derby, even though he's not the favorite. He covers the other racing action over the weekend, as well. Mike Watchmaker "Weekend Warrior"
IRISH CHAMPION STAKES - Saturday, 12:45 p.m. EDT
IT'S SNOW FAIRY IN A DUEL OVER NATHANIEL!! Write-up and video replay - click here
Have to go overseas for some great Grade 1 action, one being the SPRINT CUP at Haygood in Great Britain, where William Buick will ride ORTENSIA, then catch a helicopter ride to Leopardstown in Ireland to ride NATHANIEL in the IRISH CHAMPION STAKES. Confidence appears to be strong behind Nathaniel for victory in Saturday's mouthwatering clash with Snow Fairy and St Nicholas Abbey in the Group 1 Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes despite trainer John Gosden saying his runner will not be at his peak. Snow Fairy's jockey Frankie Dettori said he was unsure about how seriously he was planning to take Gosden's comments and bookmakers have followed suit with Ladbrokes shortening the Coral-Eclipse winner to 11-10 favourite (from 5-4), William Hill going 11-10 (from 11-8) and bet365 cutting him to 5-4 (from 11-8) for the race. Nathaniel, Snow Fairy and St Nicholas Abbey will be joined in the Irish Champion Stakes by Born To Sea, Light Heavy and Daddy Long Legs and Pat Keogh, Leopardstown's chief executive, believes it will be "a race to remember". He said: "We're delighted with the standard of the field for the Red Mills Irish Champion Stakes this year as it features really exciting horses."
BRITISH COLUMBIA DERBY - Sunday, 8:10 p.m. EDTThe Grade 3 BRITISH COLUMBIA DERBY at Hastings Race Course, will be live-streamed on DRF (click here) which will include the full card for the day. This is the "home" course for Mario Gutierrez, who became an overnight star when he rode I'll Have Another to historic wins in the Kentucky Derby and the Preakenss this spring. Mario will be riding for his mentor, Glen Todd, and hopes to bring home a win for his friend of a race that thus far has eluded him. The horse, Taylor's Deal, clearly the horse to beat on Sunday, has won three of his four starts this year, including the British Columbia Cup Stellar’s Jay Aug. 6 by a commanding 5 1/4 lengths. Good luck to Mario and Mr. Todd, along with the trainer, Troy Taylor!
