Last weekend, there were several stakes-rich racecards across North America, most prominently at Churchill Downs on June 27. Results from those six stakes under the Twin Spires brought significant changes to earnings leaderboards in several divisions, as tabulated by Equibase.

The highlight of Churchill’s June 27 card was undoubtedly the $2 million Stephen Foster Stakes, which featured Grade 1 winners Sovereignty, White Abarrio, Magnitude, and Baeza. Despite breaking through the gate before the start, Magnitude posted a gate-to-wire victory by 1 ¼ lengths over Baeza in the Foster, with Sovereignty finishing third and White Abarrio fourth. Coming off a three-month layoff following an impressive win in the Dubai World Cup Sponsored by Emirates Airline, Magnitude earned an Equibase Speed Figure of 116 in the Stephen Foster, the highest in North America last week. He now has three wins from three starts and $8,490,500 in 2026 earnings globally, and Magnitude moved into second on the overall leaderboard when including earnings from Dubai World Cup and Saudi Cup Day. When looking at the leaderboard in North American earnings only, Magnitude is fourth overall and second among older horses with $1,530,500. While the Foster offered a “Win and You’re In” berth to the Oct. 31 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic, Magnitude had already secured a spot in the Classic by taking the Dubai World Cup in March.

Earlier Saturday at Churchill, Immersive showed her class and ability by winning the Fasig-Tipton Fleur de Lis Stakes, a qualifier for the Oct. 31 Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff. The Nyquist filly seemingly succumbed to Shred the Gnar’s challenge in midstretch, only to battle back and prevail in the Fleur de Lis by three quarters of a length under Irad Ortiz Jr. Immersive, 2024’s champion 2-year-old filly, began her 4-year-old campaign with a pair of runner-up finishes in graded stakes for trainer Brad Cox. Having earned $397,500 in 2026, Immersive rocketed up the leaderboard into 63^rd overall and 12^th in the older female division.

On closing Sunday, June 28, Churchill Downs held four more stakes races, including two six-furlong sprints for juveniles that altered Equibase’s rankings. Pierette, a Girvin filly trained by Mark Casse, stalked the pace and drove clear to win the Debutante Stakes by 1 ½ lengths under Jose Ortiz. The filly had started her career at Churchill on May 15 with a 1 ¾ length win in a maiden special weight race going five furlongs on the dirt, and after boosting her earnings to $203,741 in the Debutante, undefeated Pierette is now second in the 2-year-old filly division.

In the Bashford Manor Stakes for 2-year-olds, Blessed Flyer rallied to upset the field at odds of 31.91-1. The Dialed In colt is trained by Michael Tomlinson and was ridden by Brian Hernandez Jr. He first won at Keeneland in mid-April in similar come-from-behind fashion, and he earned a 95 Equibase figure in his Bashford Manor win, which ties the highest figure of any 2-year-old this year. Blessed Flyer also moved into first in the 2-year-old male division with $188,255 in earnings.

Despite winning at just 11% last week from 45 mounts, Irad Ortiz Jr. tallied two graded stakes wins in the Fleur de Lis and the Maxfield Stakes at Churchill and remains on top of the jockey standings with $21,942,160. Jose Ortiz is hot on Irad’s heels and surpassed $21 million in earnings last week, now sitting less than $700,000 behind his brother. Last week, Jose led all jockeys by earnings with an incredible $2,263,293, winning at a 27% clip including three stakes victories topped by Magnitude’s Foster score. He is nearly $2.5 million in earnings ahead of third-ranked Flavien Prat.

The top 10 trainer standings remain the same; however, Steve Asmussen made a big move in second position and cut Brad Cox’s earnings lead from over $3 million to $1.7 million. Asmussen, who trains Magnitude, finished the week with $2,040,569 in earnings, and the Hall of Famer earned his 189^th win of 2026 Sunday night at Lone Star Park.
