The stakes-packed Friday evening card at Charles Town provided a chance for proven stakes winners to add rich victories to their decorated resumes.

Fev Rover dethroned Moira as Canada’s Horse of the Year last season, but in Sunday’s $500,000 Beverly D. (G2), Moira exacted a measure of revenge.

Friday’s $386,334 Modesty S. (G3) already shaped up as a contentious renewal, and the yielding turf on a rainy Kentucky Oaks Day at Churchill Downs added another layer of complexity to the handicapping puzzle.
