2nd-Saratoga, $100,000, Msw, 6-7, 3yo/up, 7f, 1:23.66, sy, head. STARS AND STRIDES (c, 3, American Pharoah–Holiday Blues, by Ghostzapper), a first-time starter tackling several more experienced rivals here, went off at 8-1 and opted to rate mid pack as longshot Henry's Hope (Maclean's Music) set a contested tempo with 3-5 race favorite Mainstream (Speightstown) sitting second. Beginning to pick up the bridle midway around the turn, Stars and Strides dove inside at the quarter pole under Junior Alvarado to engage Mainsteam who took over the front momentarily. The pair dueled into the final furlong with Stars and Strides gutsy even in a tight spot against the fence and the race favorite refusing to yield outside even as contact was made close to the wire. The stewards took a look at the stretch run but ultimately made no change leaving Stars and Strides the winner by a head with a further 6 1/2 lengths back to Secured Lender (Omaha Beach) in third. Holiday Blues, who produced Panther Island (Speightstown), SW, $254,120 as her first foal and is a half-sister to MSW/GISP Wine Police (Speightstown), went through the ring this year at KEEJAN in foal to Arcangelo on a final bid of $210,000 to Maytime Bloodstock. Her 2-year-old Frosted filly brought $220,000 at KEESEP last year while her yearling Maxfield colt sold for $100,000 at KEENOV. She reported an Arcangelo filly this spring. Sales History: $160,000 Wlg '22 KEENOV; $475,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $55,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV. O-Pin Oak Stud LLC; B-Four Pillars Holdings LLC (KY); T-William I. Mott.

Very true, and didn't bother me as they raced on the Tuesday, only remember the fact as we had a horse racing, somethings just stick in your head. -

Due to heavy rain impacting the Saratoga Springs region, the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) has moved Saturday's GI Jaipur Stakes and GI Resorts World Casino Manhattan Stakes to Sunday, according to a press release from the organization on Saturday morning. The Jaipur [ninth race], a “Win and You're In” for the GI Prevagen Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, and the Manhattan [12th race], which will be contested at nine furlongs on the inner turf rather than the originally scheduled 1 3/16 miles on the Mellon turf, will be run as the 12th and 13th on the Sunday card, respectively. As a result of the inclement weather, turf races scheduled for the third race, the sixth race [GII Wonder Again Stakes], the 10th race [GIII Pennine Ridge Stakes] and the 14th race will be contested on the main track. The two-day all turf Pick 5 which began on Friday's program will pay out to ALL on the final three legs scheduled for Saturday's card. Sunday's Closing Day card of the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival has a first post of 12:10 p.m. ET. Admission gates will open to the public at 11 a.m. ET.

After all the pontificating leading up to Saturday's G1 Betfred Derby, all that was required was respect for the Chester Vase form as Australia's Lambourn led home Protectionist's Lazy Griff as he had in that Group 3 trial. Cajoled to the front from the break by Wayne Lordan, the 13-2 shot who has become progressively less tardy with racing was soon comfortable in the clear and after freewheeling down the hill stayed on powerfully to provide Aidan O'Brien with his 11th Blue Riband. Lazy Griff at an inflated 50-1 was 3 3/4 lengths behind, with Tennessee Stud a length behind to make it a second place-getter for Wootton Bassett in the Epsom Classics. Ruling Court had been withdrawn due to the ease in the ground despite the expected rain staying away in the build-up, while Ryan Moore's pick Delacroix was never a factor as the 2-1 favourite.

Ruling Court has been ruled out of Saturday's G1 Betfred Derby after trainer Charlie Appleby judged the ground to be too slow for the son of Justify. The 2,000 Guineas winner had been due to start as one of the favourites. “The ground conditions were a concern yesterday with Desert Flower. William said yesterday it was genuinely good-to-soft, but we appreciated that it was drying out through the course of the day,” he explained. “We arrived here today with an open mind, let William ride the first race, but he felt it was riding good-to-soft. On this horse, stamina was an unknown for us and we felt after what we saw on quick ground at the Guineas, this was not going to be the ground for him today.” The post Ruling Court Out Of The Derby appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
