She knows that by taking good care of her, the 3-year-old filly just may take her back to the Breeders’ Cup. “No one else works her,” said Doyle, Street Band’s regular rider who will be back aboard the Larry Jones-trainee when they compete in the $1 million Cotillion Stakes (G1) on Saturday at Parx Racing as part of the stacked Pennsylvania Derby Day card.

By Ray Wallin Whether you are a casual racing fan or you make your living playing the races, the Breeders’ Cup offers great excitement and value. One of the original seven Breeders’ Cup races, the BC Sprint has always featured hot fractions and fulfilled our “need for speed.”   #1 Only the Shadow Knows In 1990, Safely Kept got out to the early lead only to be challenged through the entire stretch drive by Dayjur.
