Thanksgiving Week Horse Racing Delights at Churchill Downs

The Clark Stakes (G2)

The Clark Stakes drew a field of 10, featuring a mix of 3-year-olds taking on older horses for the first time. Two Brad Cox trainees stand out – Most Wanted, undefeated in four career starts, and the 4-year-old Hit Show, who has won his last three races. This race promises exciting matchups and intense competition.

Hit Show's form has been remarkable, and his recent winning streak has caught the attention of many. The challenge of facing older horses will add an extra layer of excitement to this race. Brad Cox's training has been crucial in shaping Hit Show's success, and his chances of continuing to shine in the Clark Stakes are high.

The Kentucky Jockey Club (G2)

The Kentucky Jockey Club is a points race for the 2025 Kentucky Derby and has a field of 10 3-year-olds led by Jonathan’s Way. This son of Vekoma has already achieved a victory on the Derby trail and has valuable Breeders’ Cup experience. His presence in the race adds depth and excitement.

Jonathan’s Way will be looking to build on his previous success and use his experience to his advantage. The competition in this race is fierce, with each horse vying for a top spot. The outcome of this race could have a significant impact on the future of these young horses and their chances in the Kentucky Derby.
