In Italian pressed a hot pace in the one-mile Just a Game but should find hersel attending slower fractions or on the lead in the 1 1/8-mile Diana.
There were news stories this week remembering the famous New York City blackout of July 13, 1977. And there were racing stories this week talking about the brownout in the Diana Stakes at Saratoga.
The Diana, North America’s only Grade 1 on Saturday, drew six entrants, four trained by Chad Brown. Some folks have their hackles up over this, but it’s nothing new. Brown has been dominating and dictating filly-and-mare turf stakes all season – and this hardly is the first season.
