Every year over Thanksgiving weekend, several prominent tracks around North America pull out the stops in presenting high-quality Thoroughbred racing, including Churchill Downs and Del Mar. Those two popular venues have prominent stakes races scheduled in the coming days, and this year they’ll be joined atop the marquee by Gulfstream Park, which launches its Championship Meet on Thanksgiving Day.
