    • She didn't have the greatest of beginnings, but 'TDN Rising Star' Ragtime (Union Rags) was flying late to nail the top flight and take home the hardware in the GIII Dogwood Stakes. Racing without blinkers here, Ragtime broke a touch awkwardly and it left her with a lot to do as she found herself at the back of the field as a result. 'TDN Rising Star' Delightful Claire (Vekoma) stepped out to dictate the pace through an opening quarter in :22.84 and a half in :45.55, and was well clear of the eventual winner as the field turned for home. Ragtime had ridden the rail off the bend, but had a wall of horses in front of her with only a small chance at daylight to her outside. Sneaking into that hole as 28-1 longshot Strong State (Tom's d'Etat) came roaring from the outside, Ragtime sailed away from that challenger to win with air to spare. Delightful Claire held on for third. The 'Rising Star' was last seen running an ultra-game second to Kilwin (Twirling Candy) at Saratoga in the GI Test Stakes and before that had been unbeaten in her young career with blow out wins at the venue against maidens as well as first-level allowance company.   O/B-Godolphin; T-Bill Mott.

    • Godolphin homebred Immersive (f, 3, Nyquist–Gap Year, by Bernardini), the unbeaten Eclipse champion 2-year-old filly of 2024, got back on track with her first visit to the winner's circle as a 3-year-old. It's not that she was ever far from it: two months after her GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies win, Godolphin announced she would be given some time off due to bone bruising. Immersive returned to the races in June at Churchill, finishing a neck behind MSW & GISP Take Charge Milady (Take Charge Indy) in the Monomoy Girl Stakes in her first start in seven months. It was off to Saratoga and the GI CCA Oaks, where no one could catch the romping Scottish Lassie (McKinze). Immersive was second that day. Routed back to Brad Cox's Churchill base and Saturday's Seneca Overnight Stakes, Immersive gave a little hop out of the inside gate and took control with her ears flicking back and forth. Under a firm Florent Geroux hold at 3-5, Immersive got the first quarter in a sensible :24.10 and the half in :48.16 as a pair tailed her and the others trailed a good eight or so lengths in arrears. As the tempo quickened on the turn, Ivory and Ebony (Spun to Run) challenged from inside Immersive, briefly sticking her nose in front and floating the champ wide off the turn. The two bumped, but Immersive was unfazed, kicking clear late to win by two lengths. The Seneca Overnight marked Immersive's fourth black-type victory. In addition to the Breeders' Cup, she also captured the GI Spinaway Stakes and GI Alcibiades Stakes last year. Hailing from the same family as GISW Madcap Escapade (Hennessy), the winner's dam is out of GI Ballerina winner Dubai Escapade (Awesome Again), a $2-million Barretts purchase by John Ferguson on behalf of Godolphin. Immersive's winning dam, also a Godolphin homebred, has a yearling filly by Street Sense and is barren for 2026.

    • A combination of AI and spell check.  It was Miss Andretti. The sectionals are all on RACING.COM.
    • In a race with a heavy favorite, Mad House (Vekoma–Stifled Heiress, by Munnings) led a crew of longshots who blew up the tote board in the GII Gallant Bob Stakes at Parx on Saturday afternoon. Barnes (Into Mischief) was tabbed as the 1-5 choice, but at the bell the colt was slow to respond. In the meantime, Mad House took the lead with Paco Lopez at the controls. The 3-year-old who came into the race riding a three-race win streak at Canterbury could not be caught as he scored the biggest win of his career at odds of 23-1. Gateskeeper (Instagrand) was the runner-up at 80-1, and Fire Pit (Cairo Prince) completed the hefty Trifecta at 50-1. The final running time was 1:08.77. Barnes came on to grab fourth.

    • I thought it was a promising run for a horse that clearly wants more ground.
