Leading older mare Letruska racked up her fifth straight win – and fourth consecutive Breeders’ Cup Challenge event – in Sunday’s Spinster S. (G1) at Keeneland.

After the scratch of Dunbar Road, Horologist turned Sunday’s $116,400 Summer Colony S. at Saratoga into a one-horse show.

A closing second to Letruska in last summer’s Shuvee S. (G3), Royal Flag overtook another gutsy pacesetter, Horologist, in time in Sunday’s $200,000 renewal at Saratoga.

The Breeders' Cup is five weeks from now, several Eclipse Award races came into much sharper focus an indeed, we're ready to make a call in one of them.
