Top Stakes Races Fourth Week of November: Friday, November 24th – Saturday, November 25th, 2023

 

Ms Revere Stakes | Grade 2

1 1/6 miles turf – 3 year old fillies
Friday, November 24th, 2023
Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky, United States

Ben Colebrooke trained Beach Walkn should go off the horse odds favorite. Beach Walkn has yet to break the maiden, but the 3 year old produced a massive speed rating in the last.

Sabalenka, Bling, and Neecie Marie will attract action. All three hail from decent barns, which means all three will be playable. Brad Cox trained Heavenly Sunday should challenge Beach Walkn for favoritism.

Clark Stakes | Grade 2

1 1/16 miles dirt – 3 year olds and up
Friday, November 24th, 2023
Del Mar Racetrack, Del Mar, California, United States

Lexington Stakes winner First Mission, who was the second choice to win the 2023 Preakness the morning of the race before a scratch, returns in the Clark Stakes. First Mission, no doubt, will go off the favorite.

Il Miracolo, Straight Arrow, and Gasoline will attract action. Trademark, Giant Game, and Happy American are the most accomplished. None of the three, though, will offer lower odds than the Brad Cox trained First Mission.

Hollywood Turf Cup Stakes | Grade 2

1 ½ miles turf – 3 year olds and up
Friday, November 24th, 2023
Del Mar Racetrack, Del Mar, California, United States

Chad Brown hopes to parlay Francesco Clemente’s allowance victory over Aqueduct’s grass in the last to a Grade 2 Hollywood Turf Cup victory. Based on early enthusiasm, the Brown trainee will go off a close to even money chalk.

Yes This Time, Lukka, and Planetario will have their fans. John Shirreffs saddles possible wise guy choice Astronaut. The 6-year-old horse’s form suffered in races at Aqueduct. Now back on the west coast, Astronaut could prove tough and will offer a fair price.

Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes | Grade 2

1 1/16 miles dirt – 2 year olds
Saturday, November 25th, 2023
Churchill Downs, Louisville, Kentucky, United States

Kenny McPeek has won his fair share of Kentucky Jockey Club races, which is why McPeek trained Real Men Violin could go off the favorite. The Mendelssohn sired youngster broke the maiden in the last.

Brad Cox puts the saddle on Awesome Road. Although Road struggled in the Grade 1 Breeders’ Futurity in the last, a bounce back could be in order.

Honor Marie, Dancing Groom, and Todd Pletcher trained Nomos will also attract action. If horseplayers don’t go with Awesome Road as the chalk, they’re likely to make nomos the horse odds favorite.

Seabiscuit Handicap | Grade 2

1 1/16 miles turf – 3 year olds and up
Saturday, November 25th, 2023
Del Mar Racetrack, Del Mar, California, United States

Last year, Hong Kong Harry won two races at Del Mar and finished second in another. Hong Kong Harry goes into this after winning the Grade 3 City of Hope in the last. Harry won the Seabiscuit Handicap in 2022. So, no doubt, he’ll be the favorite on Saturday.

Astronomer took the lead in the City of Hope and almost held off Hong Kong Harry. The City of Hope is at a mile, though. So it’s doubtful horseplayers back the front runner at a 1 1/16 race.

Balnikhov, War at Sea, and Cabo Spirit will attract action. Sumter and Easter will go off at overlay odds.
