Former Canadian Horse of the Year Moira, who ran well in defeat in the past two runnings of the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1), made it third time lucky in Saturday’s renewal at Del Mar.

Saturday’s John C. Mabee (G2) was supposed to be a showdown between Didia and Anisette, but the Phil D’Amato-trained Hang the Moon jumped up at odds of 20.50-1 at Del Mar.

Friday’s $750,000 New York (G1) came up terrifically deep on paper, but Didia looked in a different league when driving to her first U.S. Grade 1 victory.

Unlike the Just a Game (G1) with its overrepresentation of Chad Brown runners, Friday’s other major event for turf distaffers at Saratoga, the $750,000 New York (G1), boasts a much more varied field of 13.

One week after winning six straight races at Santa Anita, riding legend Frankie Dettori put on another master class at Keeneland when guiding Beaute Cachee to a $53.68 upset of the Jenny Wiley (G1).

Uncharacteristically lackluster in the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1) in her latest, Merriebelle Stable’s Didia was back to her best in Saturday’s Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G2) at Gulfstream Park.

A four-month layoff didn’t stop 11-10 favorite Didia from posting a comfortable victory in Saturday’s Rodeo Drive (G2) racing 1 1/4 miles over the Santa Anita turf course.

Klaravich Stables’ Marketsegmentation seized the opportunity as controlling speed in Friday’s $600,000 New York (G1) at Belmont Park, giving trainer Chad Brown his fifth win in the turf feature.

Friday’s Grade 1 turf stakes at Belmont Park have attracted all-star fields, including competitors who’ve gone very close in the past two editions of the Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf (G1).

Didia stepped up in grade for Friday’s Modesty (G3) at Churchill Downs and stamped herself as a rising force in the turf female division.
