SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - The last time - actually the only time - that California-based trainer Mark Glatt ran a horse at Saratoga it was not a pleasant experience. It was 2004, and the filly Elusive Diva finished sixth in the Grade 1 Test Stakes.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Enter Sandman into the fray of impressive Saratoga maiden winners who will be looking for stakes company next time out.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Due to heavy rains and possible heavy winds associated with Tropical Storm Debby, Friday’s 10-race card at Saratoga has been canceled, the New York Racing Association announced on Thursday.
Further, the Grade 1 Fourstardave and Grade 1 Saratoga Derby, scheduled to be run on Saturday’s card, will now be run as the final two races on Sunday’s card. The NYRA had previously announced that, as a contingency, it had carded those two races, as drawn, for Sunday.

Newly-minted Hall of Fame jockey Abe Hawkins, enshrined via the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame’s Historic Review Committee, was one of the most accomplished American athletes both before and in the aftermath of the Civil War. But his successes and his enigmatic life story cannot be divorced from dark chapters in American history.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - Colonial Affair, in 1994, was the last horse to win the Whitney and Jockey Club Gold Cup in the same season. Since then, nine Whitney winners have tried the 1 1/4 miles of the Gold Cup without success.
Arthur’s Ride, winner of Saturday’s Grade 1 Whitney in Saratoga, is expected to try and become the next horse to attempt to annex the prestigious double. This year’s Jockey Club Gold Cup will be on Sept. 1.
“If you run well, or however you run, if you want to go to the Breeders’ Cup it gives you 60 days,” Mott said. “That’s got to be enough time.”
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - In just 24 hours, John Ortiz experienced all the emotions involved with training Thoroughbred horses.
On Saturday afternoon, Ortiz had to scratch his Grade 1-winning filly Brightwork from the Grade 1 Test Stakes - what would have been her first start in nine months - when she flipped in the paddock, suffering what fortunately were just superficial cuts and scrapes.
DEL MAR, Calif. - Adare Manor’s eighth career stakes win in Saturday’s Grade 1 Clement Hirsch Stakes at Del Mar was one of her finest, in the opinion of her Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert.
Watching from Saratoga Springs, N.Y., where he ran National Treasure in the Whitney, Baffert saw Adare Manor close from fourth along the inside on the backstretch, and rally wide on the turn under jockey Juan Hernandez before pulling clear by 2 3/4 lengths as the 3-5 favorite.
DEL MAR, Calif. - A bold win by Full Serrano in his American debut in an allowance race at Del Mar on Saturday may lead to a start in the Grade 1 Pacific Classic at Del Mar on Aug. 31.
Owned by Hronis Racing and trained by John Sadler, the Argentine-bred Full Serrano led throughout the one-mile race, prevailing by 2 1/4 lengths.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Bloodstock agent and Thoroughbred owner Ramiro Restrepo, trainer Gustavo Delgado, and the latter’s son and assistant Gustavo Delgado Jr., had the ride of their lives with 2023 Kentucky Derby winner Mage. They have the chance to dream big again after a powerhouse debut by Ferocious on Saturday at Saratoga – and the colt’s presence in the barn can be credited to the success of last year.
