Great racing for the Thoroughbreds and the ever-popular Corgis dogs highlight this week at Emerald Downs. The annual WTBOA Summer Yearling and Mixed sale is Tuesday, August 24, and WTBOA President Dana Halvorson has information on the Sale and much more. Leading jockey Alex Cruz's track-record 46-day winning streak is recapped.

On-track action looks great for the upcoming week of Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. The track's all-time leader in races won, Mike Man's Gold, heads the list in a competitive sprint on Thursday. Preps for the August 15 Longacres Mile and Emerald Distaff are on Saturday and Sunday brings a stakes-double header of top northwest three-year-olds. The Longacres Mile is the focus of "trivia" for the next few weeks.
