Front-running was the theme in the Thanksgiving Day co-features at Churchill Downs. Played Hard lived up to her name, as well as 0.45-1 favoritism, to repel every challenge in the Falls City (G3), and Dalika feasted upon her favorite turf course in the Cardinal (G3).

Six graded stakes highlight a dynamite 12-race program Saturday at Kentucky Downs on Saturday. The $1 million Kentucky Turf Cup (G2) and $750,000 Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf (G3) were originally scheduled, and the $1 million Mint Million (G3) has been brought back after being canceled due to adverse weather conditions at the all-turf venue last Saturday.

Irish invader State of Rest sprang a 21-1 surprise in Saturday’s $1 million Saratoga Derby (G1), while the other two turf stakes on Whitney Day went to favorites War Like Goddess and Flavius.
