'The summer place to be': Saratoga to start
Saratoga is the boutique meet on the New York circuit, a 40-day session of top-class racing in a wonderful setting, and the action gets underway Friday with a 10-race opening day program. It’s a far cry from the hustle and bustle of the big city, about three hours to the south, where the state’s other major tracks, Belmont Park and Aqueduct, are located.This marks the 143rd season at North America’s oldest Thoroughbred racing venue. Nestled in the foothills of the Adirondacks, Saratoga is steeped in tradition and offers a taste of days gone by, with a historic grandstand and tree-lined paddock grounds. Little seems to have changed in the last 100 years except for the televisions and self-service betting machines.
Preakness winner Shackleford has the Travers on his agenda and it’s a likely target for Belmontupsetter Ruler on Ice. Other possible contestants include Triple Crown veterans Pants on Fire, Mucho Macho Man, Brilliant Speed and Stay Thirsty. Fresh faces like Dominus, an impressive winner of the recent Dwyer Stakes (G2), and Bob Baffert’s promising Coil could add further intrigue to this year’s field.There are several important events for three-year-old fillies, including the $250,000 Coaching Club American Oaks (G1) on the opening Saturday of the meet. The $250,000 Test Stakes (G1) on Aug. 6, the filly counterpart to the $250,000 King’s Bishop Stakes (G1) on the Travers undercard, typically attracts a stellar field for seven furlongs, and the $500,000 Alabama Stakes (G1) on August 20 is always a high-class affair. Last year, eventual three-year-old filly champion Blind Luck edged Havre de Grace by a neck in a thrilling edition of the 1 1/4-mile Alabama.
The $250,000 Ruffian Handicap (G1) on July 31 and the $300,000 Personal Ensign (G1) on Aug. 28 are the big races for older fillies and mares on the main track. Awesome Maria, unbeaten in four starts this year and a powerhouse in her own right in a deep distaff division that includes Blind Luck and Havre de Grace, was preparing for a start in the Ruffian but unfortunately sustained an injury and is out for the rest of the year.
Rice has a much smaller stable, but her horses are always ready and must be respected, especially in sprints. And she won with her last starter at the recently completed Belmont spring/summer meet, tying Pletcher atop the final leaderboard. It marked the second straight meet that Rice has tied for leading trainer, following her success at Aqueduct in the spring.
