Sorelli attempts title defense in Emerald Championship Challenge

Three Quarter Horse stakes, headed by the $55,000 Emerald Championship Challenge, will be featured Sunday at Emerald Downs. The 440-yard Emerald Championship Challenge drew 11 horses, the largest field in the history of the race, including last year’s winner, Sorelli. The winner qualifies for the Grade 1, $350,000 Challenge Championship on Oct. 14 at Prairie Meadows.
