Turf Stars Shine in Sword Dancer

August 15th, 2014 by Jen Ferguson

A field of seven turf distance specialists will line up to contest the 1 1/2-mile Sword Dancer Invitational on Sunday at Saratoga Race Course. The winner will take home Grade 1 glory and the lion's share of a $500,000 purse. Main Sequence, winner of the United Nations Stakes in July in his first U.S. start, heads the field with runner-up Twilight Eclipse back to challenge. Imagining looks to regain his form after winning the Man o' War Stakes in May but disappointing in his most recent try.
