all in Racing

If you’re looking for big value and even bigger fields then few options are better than Kentucky Downs. The short but lucrative turf-only meet draws full and contentious fields from its stakes right down to claimers. On Saturday, distance turf stars will get their chance to chase a $1 million purse in the Kentucky Turf Cup Stakes at 1 ½ miles.

The weather was great and business boomed during another wonderful summer at  Saratoga Race Course. One sun-splashed afternoon after another contributed to record all-sources wagering of $878,211,963. Paid attendance surpassed one million for the seventh consecutive season, excluding 2020, when fans were unable to attend due to the pandemic.

My top 10 memories from another season of great racing at Saratoga:

Each week a panel of media members, horseplayers, and Breeders’ Cup World Championships officials release a poll tabulating their votes on the nation's top contenders for the 2022 Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic.

The fields for the 14 races that comprise the Breeders’ Cup World Championships really begin to come into focus in summer and fall and this regular feature will offer a snapshot profile of one of the previous weekend’s standout stars.

Apparently there’s no need for an umbrella when you win a Grade 1 stakes.

As a steady rain fell down on the winner’s circle at Saratoga Race Course, owner Mike Repole bounced back and forth from the track to the gathering of his friends while wearing a short-sleeved blue shirt.

No jacket. No hat.
