Bodemeister’s turf specialist O Dionysus changed tactics to win Saturday’s Japan Turf Cup S. at Laurel Park, taking the lead in the first three furlongs and then digging in gamely in the stretch to win the 1 1/2-mile contest by a neck in a four-horse photo. The 5-year-old has now won four stakes and placed […]

After […]

Brunette Princess and Miss Marcela were three lengths ahead of the field when they hit the wire on even terms to share the win in Saturday’s Any Limit S. at Gulfstream Park. A dead heat is a rare enough event, even more so when two horses by the same sire accomplish the feat. Making the […]

Bodemeister got his seventh stakes winner of 2018 on Saturday when Risky Proposition unleashed powerful kick in the final furlong to win the $80,000 Let It Ride S. at Del Mar by three-quarters of a length.

O Dionysus stretched out to 1 1/2-miles for the first time in Saturday’s $75,000 Cape Henlopen S. at Delaware Park and came away with a new track record and his third career stakes win.
