America’s Best Racing editor Patrick Reed presents four takeaways from an active weekend in horse racing highlighted by “Win and You’re In” preps at Santa Anita Park, a champion’s tuneup for the Breeders’ Cup at Belmont Park, and the reigning Horse of the Year’s return to training.

Get ready — the road to the 2027 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve is about to take several major turns.

Like so many other well-known New York stakes, the Vosburgh Stakes returns home to Belmont Park on Thursday, with a slight delay as the race was rescheduled from Saturday, Sept. 26, after Belmont cancelled due to bad weather. After a three-year stay at Aqueduct while Belmont Park was being rebuilt, the seven-furlong sprint will be contested at the ultra-modern, newest edition of beautiful Belmont Park.

Super Corredora’s midyear mental break did exactly what trainer John Sadler hoped. The 2025 champion 2-year-old filly returned to the races for the Sept.

Forged Steel loves Santa Anita Park. After crushing the field in the Grade 2 Hollywood Gold Cup Stakes in late May, the Saffie Joseph Jr. trainee returned to "The Great Race Place" and won once again, this time in the Grade 1 $300,000 Goodwood Stakes on Sept. 26.
