The Grade 3, $150,000 Matt Winn Stakes Saturday at Churchill Downs is a newly minted points race on the Road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve, which takes place on Sept. 5 this year.

For all of the sun and fun rolled into summertime racing, there are unfortunately some days when Mother Nature decides to muddy the waters.

Unlike baseball, horse racing usually goes on before, during, and after a rainstorm and there are some general philosophies that you should store away for, yes, a rainy day.

Dan’s Double of the week, featuring handicapping analysis from America’s Best Racing’s New York correspondent Dan Tordjman, is brought to you by Horseplayers.com, the official online qualifying site of the Breeders’ Cup Betting Challenge (BCBC) and National Horseplayers Championship (NHC).

Got Stormy, a finalist for champion turf female in 2019, was one of 11 fillies and mares entered for the Powder Break Stakes May 16 at Gulfstream Park, one of three stakes races at the Florida track on Saturday.

Racing resumes at Santa Anita Park this weekend and one of two feature races is the $150,000 Echo Eddie Stakes. The field of nine is top-heavy in early speed types. Stir the Pot is the only maiden in the field but may be the fastest early if he can flee the rail, having zipped out to lead from the start in his most recent race and holding that lead until past the eighth pole.
