On Keeneland's Sunday opener, favorites were overturned in both sophomore stakes that also witnessed key scratches.

An unusual start to the 2025 spring meet at Keeneland begins Sunday, the first of eight consecutive days of racing at the Lexington, Ky., plant after an inordinate amount of rain pelted the region this week and forced officials to postpone cards scheduled for Friday and Saturday.

Sophomore sprinters took to the Keeneland dirt and turf for a pair of Sunday stakes and delivered performances indicative of bright futures.

Six months to the day after Slipstream went last-to-first in the Futurity (G3) at Belmont Park, the Christophe Clement trainee parlayed a similar inside trip to beat 9-10 favorite Twilight Gleaming in Sunday’s $188,788 Palisades S. at Keeneland.

Keeneland’s Sunday feature, the Beaumont (G3), serves as the final points opportunity on the Road to the Kentucky Oaks. The supporting Palisades S. is the comeback spot for Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint heroine Twilight Gleaming.
