January’s Top Stakes Races: Saturday, January 20th, 2024
Interborough Stakes
7 furlongs dirt – 4 year old fillies and mares
Saturday, January 20th, 2024
Aqueduct Racetrack, Queens, New York
After four straight runnings of the Interborough, the Big A skipped the race in 2022. But in 2023, Aqueduct was back at it. The Interborough is often a key early season event for trainers to get an idea of how their older fillies and mares handle the 7 furlong Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint distance.
Horseplayers should expect at least one runner from the Todd Pletcher and Chad Brown barns. Richard Dutrow is also likely to enter a horse. Entries draw in Thursday. So keep the eyes open.

Silverbulletday Stakes
1 mile and 70 yards dirt – 3 year old fillies
Saturday, January 20th, 2024
Fair Grounds Race Course, New Orleans, Louisiana
Bob Baffert trained Silverbulletday was one of the top fillies to race in the late 1990’s. The now 28-year-old was so good that Baffert entered her in the Belmont Stakes.
Horseplayers should expect at least eight to head to the gate on Saturday. Of the eight, West Omaha, trained by Brad Cox, projects as the chalk. The West Coast sired runner finished second to Alpine in the Untapable in the last.
Miss Code West, Ma Rae’s Girl, Sistine Chapel, and Steve Asmussen Perfect Shot should also attract action. Look for Rob Atras runner Play Good Pay Good as a possible overlay.

Louisiana Stakes | Grade 3
1 1/16 miles dirt – 4 year olds & up
Saturday, January 20th, 2024
Fair Grounds Race Course, New Orleans, Louisiana
Red Route One, Saudi Crown, and Smile Happy should have their competition over a barrel. Of the three, no doubt, the money is going to go to Saudi Crown.
The Grade 1 Pennsylvania Derby winner had no shot in the Breeders Cup Classic. The Classic is at 1 ¼ miles, though, and this is at 1 1/16 miles. Crown should excel at this distance and Brad Cox doesn’t run them unless they can win.
Happy American, Five Star General, Confidence Game, and Kapuna should also break from the gate.

Lecomte Stakes | Grade 3
1 1/16 miles dirt – 3 year olds
Saturday, January 20th, 2024
Fair Grounds Race Course, New Orleans, Louisiana
Brad Cox puts the saddle on Godolphin owned Nash, a Medaglia D’Oro sired runner. Nash finished third in the Gun Runner in the last. Cox’s other runner, Ethan Energy, also has a chance. The Uncle Mo sired equine improved big time in the second lifetime start.
Can Group, Tizzy Indy, and Next Level will attract money. Steve Asmussen trained Track Phantom could challenge Nash for favoritism while Cox’s third runner, Awesome Road, will hit the board with improvement.

La Canada Stakes | Grade 3
1 1/16 miles dirt – 4 year old fillies
Saturday, January 20th, 2024
Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, California
Bob Baffert trained, and Grade 3 Bayakoa winner Midnight Memories will go off the favorite. The Mike Pegram owned runner won the Grade 3 Torrey Pines and the Grade 2 Zenyatta Stakes last year.
Coffee In Bed, a Richard Mandella trainee, and Desert Dawn, from the Phil D’Amato barn, should go off second and third choices. Doinitthehardway, another Baffert filly, and D’Amato trained Cliquish will also attract action. Big Pond, second in the Grade 1 La Brea in the last, could get lost in the betting and might go off an attractive long shot.

Busanda Stakes
9 furlongs dirt – 3 year old fillies
Saturday, January 13th, 2024
Aqueduct Racetrack, Queens, New York
No doubt, Todd Pletcher will send out the chalk in Class Act. The Street Sense sired miss broke the maiden at this distance in the last.
Brad Cox trained Gin Gin and Shimmering Allure, from the Kenny McPeek barn, will also attract action. Mike Maker has a contender in My Mane Squeeze and Bill Mott puts the saddle on Most of All

Don Valpredo California Cup Sprint
6 furlongs dirt – 4 year olds and up
Saturday, January 13th, 2024
Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, California
Don’t be surprised if veteran Brickyard Ride enters. Brickyard Ride, a Clubhouse Ride sired 7 year old, won the Cal Cup Sprint in 2022 and 2021.
The Chosen Vron broke Brickyard Ride’s California Cup Sprint winning streak. The Chosen Vron remains active. So the defending champ is also likely to enter. Big City Light and Resilient, the second and third place finishers in this, may also give it another go.

California Cup Oaks
8 furlongs turf – 3 year old fillies
Saturday, January 13th, 2024
Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, California
Expected a full field for this year’s running of the Cal Cup Oaks. Mike McCarthy trained Sushi Sticks is on the improve after finishing third in the Gold Rush in December.
Doug O’Neil trained Recalcitrant should bounce back form a ninth place finish in the Golden State Juvenile Fillies. Recalcitrant has some talent evidenced by the second and first place finishers in her first two races.
Peter Miller has a contender in Madison Rae. Craig Lewis will saddle three: Quick Kate, Warren’s Wild Ride, and Asada Fries.

California Cup Derby
8.5 furlongs dirt – 3 year olds
Saturday, January 13th, 2024
Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, California
So far, connections for 6 runners have committed to the Cal Cup Derby. Last Call London, from the Peter Miller barn, won the King Glorious in the last. Expect London to go off the chalk.
Steve Knapp will saddle two in Mici’s Express and Mr. Suds. Stolen Treasure, Wild Jewels, and Gentleman’s Club are the other three.

La Cienega Stakes | Grade 3
6 ½ furlongs turf – 4 year old fillies and mares
Sunday, January 14th, 2024
Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, California
Bob Baffert trained Fast And Shiny will attract a lot of action. So will Steve Asmussen’s runner, Benedict Canyon.
Phil D’Amato has a couple of contenders in Elm Drive and Honey Pants. Wakanaka, Kissed by Fire, Nadette, Anthony’s Cleopatra, and Gracelund Gray are 5 other contenders.

Betting Top Horse Races: Aqueduct, Gulfstream & Santa Anita Top Stakes | MyBookie Horse Racing Preview
January’s Top Stakes Races: Saturday, January 6th – Sunday, January 7th, 2024
Only a couple of graded races happen this weekend. Both graded races take place at Santa Anita Park. On Saturday, the Great Race Place runs the Grade 2 San Vicente.
Then on Sunday, Santa Anita runs the Grade 3 Santa Ynez. But even though there are just two graded races this weekend, it doesn’t mean there are no quality stakes events.
Check out more info for the San Vicente, Santa Ynez, and three other fantastic stakes races happening on Saturday and Sunday, plus MyBookie offers the online racebook lines for each top race.
Jerome Stakes
8 furlongs over dirt – 3 year olds
Saturday, January 6th, 2024
Aqueduct Racetrack, Queens, New York
The first prep for the Grade 1 Wood Memorial in early spring is a showcase of newly turned 3-year-olds. Todd Pletcher trained Khanata, no doubt, will go off the favorite.
Linda Rice, who had a fantastic Aqueduct meet last year, puts the saddle on likely second choice El Grande O. Because Brittany Russell trains Regalo, that one will also attract action. Sweet Shoddy J and Drum Roll Please are a couple of others that will break from the gate.

Ladies Stakes
9 furlongs over dirt – 4 years up fillies & mares
Saturday, January 6th, 2024
Aqueduct Racetrack, Queens, New York
Christophe Clement, Todd Pletcher, Brittany Russell, and Brad Cox will saddle fillies and mares in the Ladies Stakes. Cox’s runner, Comparative, should get plenty of action.
Pletcher tends to get his fillies going later in the year, but that won’t stop horseplayers from backing She’s Mo Bubbly. Evidencias goes for Clement and Russell trains Saddle Up Jessie.
Bet Ladies Stakes Today

Dania Beach Stakes
8 furlongs over turf – 3 year olds
Saturday, January 6th, 2024
Gulfstream Park, Hallandale Beach, Florida
Todd Pletcher trained Agate Road drew post position 10, which means the Pletcher runner isn’t likely to go off the favorite. That chalk moniker should fall on Claude McGaughey trained Frontline Warrior.
Shug doesn’t enter them unless he thinks he can win. So Frontline Warrior will be one to watch.
Graham Motion trained Edgartown and Reminder from the Jose D’Angelo barn are a couple of others that will garner betting dollars. Typhoon Fury, Depiction, and Palm Tree hail from capable barns.
Bet Dania Beach Stakes Today

San Vicente Stakes | Grade 2
7 furlongs dirt – 3 year olds
Saturday, January 6th, 2024
Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, California
Santa Anita’s first Kentucky Derby prep of the year pits a couple of Bob Baffert runners against a Richard Mandella and a Tim Yakteen. Mandella’s horse is Boltage.
Yakteen puts the saddle on Moonlit Sonata, which broke the maiden at first asking at Del Mar in November. Baffert’s runners are Breeders’ Cup Juvenile second place finisher Muth and last out maiden winner Pilot Commander. For sure, Muth will break from the gate the chalk.
Bet San Vicente Stakes Today

Santa Ynez Stakes | Grade 3
7 furlongs dirt – 3 year old fillies
Sunday, January 7th, 2024
Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, California
Mandella trained Kopion, an Omaha Beach sired miss, could go off the favorite in the Grade 3 Santa Ynez. Doug O’Neill saddles a couple that will challenge Kopion for favoritism, Bossy Bruin Gal, and Don’t Bring Crazy.
Bob Baffert runner Nothing Like You won the Grade 1 Starlet in the last. But the Starlet goes at Los Alamitos. Horses don’t always transfer their form from Los Al to Santa Anita. So the Baffert runner may offer a price.
