all in The Sport

Christmas came early for Godolphin, or at least that's what the snowfall made it feel like as the royal blue silks entered the winner's circle in both of the Nov. 30 featured 2-year-old stakes races at Churchill Downs.

Rattle N Roll rallied four wide to seize the lead in the stretch and then gamely held off Most Wanted 's attempt to fight back late to land a three-quarter-length victory in the $600,000 Grade 2 Clark Stakes presented by Norton Healthcare, a 1 1/8-mile test for 3-year-olds and older on Friday, Nov.

Max Hirsch was a titan in the sport. He won the 1934 Travers Stakes with Observant. He trained Bold Venture, winner of the 1936 Kentucky Derby and Preakness. He was well on his way to a Hall of Fame career.

The Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes serves a dual purpose for 2-year-olds. It will reward the top five finishers with 10-5-3-2-1 qualifying points toward a start in the Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve.

The handicap division for older horses will offer one of its last 2024 opportunities for taking down a hefty purse when the Grade 2 Clark Stakes Presented by Norton Healthcare is contested Friday at Churchill Downs.
