The buildup to the $2 million Stephen Foster (G1) at Churchill Downs on Saturday has lasted for more than a month. And now it's nearly time for the horses to do the figurative talking.

As the racing season begins its second half next week, owner Mike Repole and trainer Todd Pletcher hold pocket aces in the older male dirt division.

It is closing weekend at Churchill Downs with the highlight of the evening being the 2025 Stephen Foster Stakes.

After the concurrent losses by Fierceness and White Abarrio in the Metropolitan H. (G1) earlier this month, the leadership of the older male dirt division appears wide open.

After circling rivals with an eye-catching move on final turn, Maxfield powered home much the best in Saturday’s $600,000 Stephen Foster.

The Stephen Foster S. (G2) and Fleur de Lis S. (G2) are the main events on a dynamite 12-race closing day program at Churchill Downs on Saturday.
