Miss Temple City earns hard-fought victory in Matriarch

Miss Temple City rallied wide into the stretch of Sunday's Matriarch Stakes (G1) at Del Mar, catching pacesetter Stays in Vegas and then just holding off the late-running Roca Rojo to score a nose win.

In Japan, Sound True put in his own furious late rally to take the Champions Cup (Jpn-G1), which was formerly known as the Japan Cup Dirt, at Chukyo Racecourse.

Fans can check out the photo gallery, with result charts, from Saturday's Claiming Crown at Gulfstream Park.

Jennifer Caldwell concluded her Eclipse Award choices with the sprinters.

Features

Dear Readers,

There have been significant changes to the Handicapper's Edge and Bloodstock Journal newsletters. These changes are meant to produce more analytical content for our readers as well as handicappers who use the information in the newsletters.

Nearly everything has been migrated over to the TwinSpires.com Blog section on TwinSpires.com, including Dick Powell's Handicapping Insights and John Mucciolo's Notebooks. These features are still available, and for free like everything in the newsletters, but are just located in a different place now.

If you have any questions or comments on the new format, please feel free to contact us. Thank you for following the Edge and Journal.
