New York Showcase Day – featuring six stakes for New York-breds worth $1.15 million in purses – kicks off Travers Weekend Friday at Saratoga Race Course. 

Travers Week rolls on with a 10-race card Thursday topped by the $120,000 Riskaverse Stakes for 3-year-old fillies on the grass at Saratoga Race Course.

Three-quarters of the way through the 2021 Saratoga meet and on the heels of a thrilling Alabama Stakes, Week 6 comes to a close with 10-race card topped by the $120,000 Summer Colony Stakes for older fillies and mares. 

Now that was a lot of rain. The remnants of Tropical Storm Fred washed away all of Thursday’s grass races and figure to do the same for Friday’s 10-race card, which features a half dozen carded for the turf.

Week 6 of the 2021 Saratoga meet rolls along with another 10-race card topped by the $100,000 Union Avenue Handicap for New York-bred fillies and mares on tap for Thursday.

Where does the time go? Week 5 of the 2021 Saratoga Race Course meeting comes to a close Sunday with a 10-race card topped by the $120,000 Galway Stakes for 3-year-old fillies on the grass. 

Friday the 13th at Saratoga Race Course means one thing and one thing only – bet the 13 or the 1-3 all day.

The monster stretch of six straight editions of The Saratoga Special in the books, we moved on to Week 5 of the 2021 Saratoga Race Course meeting and a little break before another big weekend and the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred yearling sale. But first we’ve got a 10-race card on tap Thursday highlighted by the $100,000 Saratoga Dew Stakes for New York-bred fillies and mares. 

Week 4 of the 2021 Saratoga meeting rolls along with another 10-race card Thursday topped by the 1 3/4-mile Birdstone Stakes. 

Now we can call it the August place to be. Surely you remember the old slogan for Saratoga, back when it was four weeks, six days a week, ending a week before Labor Day. Well, those days are over and here we are.
