Champions Of Racing: National Museum Of Racing And Hall Of Fame Opens New Exhibit

Coinciding with the 2020 Breeders' Cup World Championships at Keeneland Race Course, a new interactive exhibit will debut at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame to showcase the history of the Breeders' Cup and the Eclipse Awards — two annual thoroughbred racing events that celebrate the best competitors of the sport.

Museum visitors can explore a searchable race footage archive containing replays of every Breeders' Cup race since the inaugural championship weekend was held at Hollywood Park in 1984 and view a historical listing of Eclipse Award winners by category on two interactive touchscreens in the Museum lobby. The National Museum of Racing acknowledges the support of Breeders' Cup Ltd. and the National Thoroughbred Racing Association in the creation of this interactive exhibit.

Online Children's Programming Series begins Nov. 11

The Museum will launch its new online Children's Programming Series on Wednesday, Nov. 11. This eight-week series, developed for ages 8-9, will explore the life stages of a thoroughbred racehorse.

Each weekly program will use videos and photos to teach about the different developmental stages in a thoroughbred's life, and each will have a related craft or activity to complete. These 15-minute long videos will be uploaded to the Museum's YouTube channel every Wednesday through Dec. 30th. The Museum's YouTube channel can be found here:

The Museum will be extending the McBean Gallery special exhibition, Women in Racing, through to Dec. 31, 2021. Featuring art and artifacts from the Museum Collection and on loan, this exhibition celebrates the women involved in every aspect of thoroughbred racing in America. Some exhibition highlights include: a timeline of firsts highlighting the milestone achievements of the pioneers of the sport, Frances Genter's pillbox hat worn during Unbridled's Kentucky Derby victory, items from Hall of Fame jockey Julie Krone's historic Belmont Stakes victory, the inaugural Diana Handicap trophy won by the first licensed female trainer Mary Hirsch, and an interactive exhibit featuring race footage and short films for visitors to explore.

Stronach 5: Three Tracks Provide Challenging Sequence In Friday’s Wager

Races from Gulfstream Park West, Laurel Park and Golden Gate Fields, including two on the turf, will provide bettors a challenging sequence in Friday's Stronach 5.

Beginning at approximately 3:58, the Stronach 5 will once again feature an industry-low 12-percent takeout.

The Stronach 5 begins at Gulfstream West with the eighth race, a $43,000 allowance optional claimer over 7 ½ furlongs on the turf that has attracted a dozen fillies and mares. The field includes a pair from the Mark Casse barn in Pardon My Heart and Dynatown as well as the stakes placed Pugilist.

Laurel Park's seventh race is next, a 5 ½ furlong event for Maryland-sired or Maryland-bred fillies and mares. The field includes Odd Gal, winner last time out of the Maryland Million Distaff Starter Handicap, and Kiss the Girl, second in the 2019 Schuylerville (G3) who races for the first time for trainer Mike Trombetta.

The third leg of the sequence will be the first race from Golden Gate, a maiden special weight event for California breds. The field includes Zagrah, a 3-year-old filly by Dansili making her third start in the U.S., and Eddie's Sister, a daughter of Square Eddie from the barn of trainer Jonathan Wong.

Gulfstream West's ninth race, a six furlong, allowance optional claiming event will be the Stronach 5's fourth leg. The race has attracted Man of Honor, second in three consecutive races, Septemberten, first or second in four of his last five starts, and Ikeisgreat, a 6 ½-length winner of his last against starter allowance company.

The sequence ends with Laurel's eighth race, a very competitive mile event for maidens 3 and up. The morning-line favorite at 4-1 is Galilean Moon.

The minimum wager on the multi-race, multi-track Stronach 5 is $1. If there are no tickets with five winners, the entire pool will be carried over to the next Friday.

If a change in racing surface is made after the wagering closes, each selection on any ticket will be considered a winning selection. If a betting interest is scratched, that selection will be substituted with the favorite in the win pool when wagering closes.

The Maryland Jockey Club serves as host of the Stronach 5.

One Master Out Of Breeders’ Cup Mile

Triple G1 Prix de la Foret winner One Master (GB) (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) has been scratched from Saturday’s GI Breeders’ Cup Mile at Keeneland after suffering from set-fast, or ‘tying up.’

Speaking from Newmarket, trainer William Haggas said, “She got a bit set-fast on her first morning out. Her muscle enzymes are too high. I’m disappointed, but very pleased that they are not risking her at all.”

A homebred for Roy and Gretchen Jackson’s Lael Stable, the 6-year-old One Master has won the seven furlong Foret on the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe undercard the past three years. She also won the G3 Oak Tree S. at Goodwood in July and was most recently third, beaten a half-length, over the soft ground in the G1 British Champions Sprint S. on Oct. 17.

The scratch means that Aidan O’Brien’s G1 Irish Derby fourth Order Of Australia (Ire) (Australia {GB}), a half-brother to last year’s G1 Filly & Mare Turf winner Iridessa (Ire) (Ruler of the World {Ire}), draws into the field.
