Classic-Placed Midnight Bourbon, Grade 1 Winners Life Is Good and Jackie’s Warrior among Keeneland Sales Graduates Featured this Weekend

Keeneland sales graduates look to make a statement this weekend in graded stakes across North America.

Midnight Bourbon, second this year in the Preakness (G1) and Runhappy Travers (G1), is among the top contenders in the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby (G1) at Parx Racing.

At Churchill Downs, stakes winner Carribean Caper looks to extend her undefeated streak in the Dogwood (G3).
