The 69th running of the Grade 2, $200,000 Summertime Oaks (formerly the Hollywood Oaks) will be run for the first time at Santa Anita and features a field of eight three-year-old fillies, many on the upswing with potential to break out and earn their first graded stakes victory.

Departing (above winning the 2013 Illinois Derby) has plenty of class and could be a formidable contender in the Stephen Foster at a nice price. (Four-Footed Fotos) 

The Stephen Foster Handicap will be featured under the lights at Churchill Downs on Saturday evening, and a fabulous field of older horses will compete for a $500,000 purse and all-important Grade 1 victory.

The Belmont Stakes day racing card is absolutely incredible and I couldn’t be more thrilled for the Ogden Phipps Stakes. At 1 1/16 miles on dirt, this Grade 1 race is open to fillies and mares three years of age and older and has a $1-million purse.

The 146th running of the Grade 1, $1.5-million Belmont Stakes gives us an opportunity to see history in the making as Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner California Chrome goes for the Triple Crown, not to mention his seventh consecutive victory. Horses that may have a chance to play spoiler include Grade 2 Peter Pan Stakes winner Tonalist, Derby runner-up Commanding Curve, Preakness runner-up Ride On Curlin and Peter Pan runner-up Commissioner.

It has comes down to this:

If California Chrome can complete one lap around Belmont Park on Saturday and cross the finish line first he will be crowned as one of the sport’s greatest champions.
