The 1 1/8-mile Clark heads a duo of stakes races on the 12-race “Black Friday” card on the day after Thanksgiving that is traditionally the most popular racing day of Churchill Downs’ Fall Meet. The main event is scheduled as the 11 th race on the Friday program at 5:56 p.m. (all times Eastern) that also features the 28th running of the $200,000 Mrs. Revere (GII) for 3-year-old fillies on turf. Post time for Friday’s first race is 1 p.m. Seeking the Soul, owned by Charles Fipke and trained by leading conditioner Dallas Stewart , most recently finished second to City of Light in the Nov. 3 Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (GI) at Churchill Downs, his fifth start of 2018. “He’s just getting better as the year goes on,” Stewart said. “Similar to his campaign last year when he won the Clark, he was peaking during this time.

(Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2018) – Steve Landers Racing ’s Fayette Stakes (Grade II) winner Leofric has not finished worse than fourth throughout his 13-race career but the flashy gray son of Candy Ride (ARG) is hoping to breakthrough for his first Grade I victory in Friday’s $500,000 Clark Handicap Presented by Norton Healthcare (GI) – the premier race of the Fall Meet at Churchill Downs. “He’s just been so consistent throughout his career,” trainer Brad Cox said. “He’s gotten better with age. He tries hard every time and gives you everything he’s got. He’s the type of horse that can be tactically placed wherever you need him in the race.” Leofric (13-7-1-3—$650,340) rallied from just off of Prime Attraction in the Fayette to prevail by a head. The 5-year-old led wire-to-wire in the West Virginia Governor’s Cup (GIII) in early August at Mountaineer before his third-place finish in the Woodword Stakes (GI) – his first attempt at a Grade I victory. Leofric was made the 3-1 co-second choice on Mike Battaglia ’s morning line odds for the Clark Handicap along with Fayette third Prime Attraction. Seeking the Soul , the defending Clark champion, was slated at 8-5 on the morning line. The 1 1/8-mile Clark heads a duo of stakes races on the 12-race “Black Friday” card on the day after Thanksgiving that is traditionally the most popular racing day of Churchill Downs’ Fall Meet.

    60 KEENELAND SPRING 2012 Winning HIS WAY Keeneland-Based Trainer Charles Lopresti Is “Red Hot” By Cynthia Grisolia | Photos by Anne M. Eberhardt t’s a crisp January morning on the Keeneland back- stretch. The sun isn’t up yet, and most of the barn I area is a veritable ghost town. But over on Rice Road, barn 62 is already a beehive of activity. Buckets are being scrubbed, hay nets filled, and horses saddled — their pads displaying a cursive capital “L,” much like the one Penny Marshall always sported on her sweaters in the sitcom Laverne & Shirley. Charles and Amy Lopresti prepare many young horses at their Forest Lane Farm once morning work at Keeneland is over. KEENELAND SPRING 2012 61 Winning HIS WAY A few of the horses will just walk the shed row today. Others will make their way in the darkness up the hill to the training track. Maybe they will breeze, maybe jog. “I don’t like to train by the calendar but [instead] by what the horse needs,” said Charles Lopresti, the “L” in charge of the 20 Thoroughbreds here. “I always say, ‘A horse should not sit in his stall and know that Day Six is breeze day.’ ” There are other things the 54-year-old trainer doesn’t like. He doesn’t like to travel much; he doesn’t like to race in the winter much; and he’d rather go fishing than talk about horse racing — unconventional behavior for a man who’s currently succeeding at the sport’s highest levels.
