This year, the Hawthorne Derby (GIII) returns! It drew a competitive field of twelve, plus an also-eligible entrant, to go a mile and an eighth on the grass. There are a lot of solid horses and no head-and-withers standouts, and should therefore be a fantastic betting race.

Head on over to ShapperDaCapper, read the latest Chicago Railbird, and get ready for the Hawthorne Derby!
