LRL: Wide Open Group Set for Twixt * The Racing Biz

A seasoned trio heads on Saturday $ 100,000 Twixt Stakes in Laurel Park, a kilometer from a turn that attracted a field of ten mares and mares.

Millionaire Morning Matcha makes her Laurel debut for trainer Butch Reid. The six -year -old has earned the black type in several seasons and everywhere in the region, and she comes fresh from a troubled fourth in Parx, where she never got a clear run.

She seems to be back on the right track and to achieve her first victory since April 2024. Reid expects her trademark Late Trap will be shown.

‘She has been a bit disappointing so far [this year]But she has had a few really rough journeys, “said Reid.” She had no chance at all with a terrible journey. She came out great, has a bit of refreshing with our summer vacation in Parx, and I expect a good effort. She will definitely come running, as always. ‘

Local favorite Foxy Junior seems to add to her CV after last year with three consecutive efforts, including the Maryland Million Distaff. She has a single victory in four starts this season, trainer Bernie Houghton believes that the versatile homeboard is going back to her preferred distance on a peak effort.

‘She came back well [this year]”Said trainer Bernie Houghton.” I didn’t have the chance to really lead her the way I wanted. A few interests that I pointed to to be canceled in Pennsylvania. It threw me a bit of my schedule. She is really good at this race. I love the run of the mile from the parachute. ‘

In the meantime, Corningstone is called to Kenny McPeek after a third place in the Distaff Iowa. The consistent mare is knocking on the door in the Graded company-she is twice in the deployment and her trainer notes that she thrives with well-played races-a setup that could play here in her favor.

“She’s just doing really well if you speed up her races,” said McPeek. “I think this race can be one of her good ones. She has a race bred by India on the calendar in October. We will probably go here and then come in four weeks ago. She has been on a role of recorded. We have broken a lot of black type and we want to add a little more.”

The 7-2 morning lines of favorite in the wide open field is the Brittany Russell trainee Ragtime Belle, a four-time winner who finished third in the Obeah Stakes in June. Other runners in a few figures on the morning line are Central Avenue (8-1), Lage Landmagie (6-1), Tipple (9-2), St. Benedicts Prep (8-1) and Wild Bout Hilary (6-1).
