Hitherto a stakes bridesmaid, Proxy wore down West Will Power to win his first trophy in Friday’s $750,000 Clark (G1). Jockey Joel Rosario swept both graded stakes on the Churchill Downs card, previously steering Bubble Rock to victory in the $300,000 Mrs. Revere (G2).

Already enshrined in the annals of Churchill Downs as an 80-1 upsetter of the Kentucky Derby (G1), Rich Strike can add to his historic legacy in Friday’s $750,000 Clark (G1) at the Louisville track.

While the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby (G1) and Cotillion (G1) are the richest prizes at Parx Saturday, notable names will appear on the stakes-laden undercard as well.

Ready to roll off the layoff in Saturday’s $252,000 Philip H. Iselin S. (G3), Code of Honor set himself up for a potentially big fall campaign with a 2 1/2-length victory at Monmouth Park.
