Where did the time go? It’s week six at Saratoga.
Charlie Appleby finally makes an appearance at Saratoga this summer and, wow, what an appearance as Godolphin’s El Cordobes upsets the Grade 1 Sword Dancer.
And that makes five. Laurelin improves her record to 5-for-5 for Newstead Farm, Graham Motion and the people’s choice Kendrick Carmouche with a smooth win in the Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Oaks.
Hot. Damn hot. Bill Mott and Junior Alvarado have another star on their hands with Juddmonte’s turf sprinting sensation Spiced Up.
New York-breds continue the Home Run Derby next door.
The Statue of Liberty, Cab Calloway and the Smart And Fancy offer stakes action this week.
Jena Antonucci walks down Nick Zito’s old shedrow for the Fasig-Tipton Stable Tour.
