John Battaglia Memorial Stakes Field

The John Battaglia Memorial Stakes will be run this weekend at Turfway Park in Kentucky. This ungraded stake, with a purse of $100,000, is named for the former general manager of Latonia Race Track, which changed its name to Turfway Park in 1986. For those of you who recognize the Battaglia name, John Battaglia's son Mike is the odds maker for Churchill Downs and often works as a racing host and analyst for NBC's live racing coverage.
