Group I Lockinge Stakes

Postby TJ » Sat May 09, 2015 5:58 am

This was the race California Chrome was to enter in and it looks like a quality field of horses. Of particular note to us Americans, Todd Pletcher has an entry in the race, Mshawish. Unbeaten in 2015 at GP winning two in a row, the GR II Fort Lauderdale Stakes and Gr I Gulfstream Park Handicap, he last raced at Meydan in the Dubai Turf on World Cup day finishing 3rd, while soundly beaten by Solow and The Grey Gatsby. BC Turf winner Karakontie may also start along with a host of others with impressive credentials. Twenty seven are entered to run after the April 28th scratch deadline when California Chrome bowed out along with eight others. Though turf conditions and tough competition usually cuts the size of the field down considerably. The race will run on Saturday, May the 16th. TJ
