For the third year in a row, the Adelaide River Show Society Race Club didn’t get to host its annual Cup Day meeting on Saturday. For the third straight year, the Adelaide River Show Society Race Club in the NT didn’t stage its Cup Day meeting due to the condition of the track. Speculation mounts that Adelaide River, located 100km south of Darwin, may never host another meeting on the NT’s only grassed-surface unless significant improvements are made to the track. The ARSSRC had previously hosted its annual meeting in early June, but it was switched to late August. The meeting scheduled for Saturday was abandoned with Thoroughbred Racing NT bringing the Darwin meeting set for September 7 forward to fill the void. Feral pigs damaged the Adelaide River track in 2022. It was impossible to prepare the track in 2023 with 1.7m of rain falling during the wet season. Darwin was the venue for the 2022 and 2023 Adelaide River Cup meetings – there was no Cup scheduled for 2024. Previously, Adelaide River hosted two meetings a year, but that ended in 2017. Cup Day in 2018 was abandoned after two races due to the state of the track following wet season rains, while Covid stopped the show in 2020. Adelaide River’s last meeting was held in 2021. TRNT and the ARSSRC have turned to a consultant, they’re finalising a proposal after inspecting the track. “We’d all like to see Adelaide River back in condition for racing, but at the moment it’s far from that,” TRNT chief executive officer Andrew O’Toole said. “It’s uneven because it’s obviously had pig damage where they have harrowed up certain areas of the track – there’s also areas where there’s poor grass growth. “We’re hopeful of racing again at Adelaide River, but it’s going to come down to whether it is possible and obviously what it is going to cost.” It was due to the wet season that a decision was made to transfer Cup Day to August because preparing the track for the June meeting proved a hurdle. “You couldn’t put machinery on the track, but you needed to mow the grass so the surface could dry,” O’Toole added. “The Adelaide River committee is going to try and get it raceable for next year, but they need to get on to it now before the rains come. “You could probably keep on top of it until Christmas time, but the track is on a flood plain, you’re devoid of run-off, and there’s every chance you may not be able to get on it until March or April after the rains.” Iconic NT race meetings at Pine Creek and Barrow Creek have fallen by the wayside – hopefully that won’t be the case with Adelaide River. “In all honesty if it’s going to cost too much to get the track to a raceable level and then maintain it to that level every year you’ve got to face facts,” O’Toole said. “It was suggested to them that they rip up the track and put a sand track in. “Some thought it was a good idea, the rest said they wanted to maintain it because it’s the only grass track in the Territory.” Horse racing news View the full article

Wonder Boy on the way to the barriers prior to the running of the McNeil Stakes at Caulfield. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Mornington-based trainer Jerome Hunter was thrilled with Wonder Boy’s performance in Saturday’s Group 3 McNeil Stakes (1200m). The Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) hopeful finished strongly to claim second, just 1.3 lengths behind the impressive winner, Growing Empire. Hunter believes the gelding is ready for a step up in distance after three promising runs. “I’m happy, that’s what we wanted to see,” Hunter told Racing.com post-race. “1200 metres, he’s hit the line hard, and next start we’ll go to 1400 metres. “Craig [Williams, jockey] said, ‘he still got lost, he’s still a big baby learning – but boy, he’s got an engine. “We’ll probably either go to Flemington for a 1400-metre race or head to the Guineas Prelude.” Following the run, Wonder Boy is now a +800 hope for the Caulfield Guineas with horse racing bookmakers.

Multiple Group 1 winner Huetor. Photo: RacingNSW The Group 2 Chelmsford Stakes (1600m) at Randwick on Saturday is likely to mark the start of another spring campaign for dual Group 1 winner Huetor. The now eight-year-old, trained by Peter Snowden, showed promise in a barrier trial over 1200 metres on Friday, recovering well from a slow start to finish fifth, 3.7 lengths behind Deny Knowledge. “He is fresh and well, and I’m looking forward to getting him out to a mile-and-a-half this preparation,” Snowden commented. “Where we get to, we’ll see how he goes along the way, but there are some nice options through the spring. “Every preparation we’ve had him, he has won or run some really good races. “He is a two-time Group 1 winner, so he owes us nothing, but he keeps performing every time he comes into work. “Hopefully, he keeps going that way, and we can pick a nice race up with him over the spring or autumn.” Horse racing news View the full article

Moir Stakes-bound Johnny Rocker. (Photo by George Sal/Racing Photos) Nick Ryan’s charge, Johnny Rocker, is set to kick off his spring campaign this Saturday in the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) at Moonee Valley. The five-year-old gelding made his debut for Ryan back in January, competing in a Benchmark 70 (1000m) race at Flemington. Although the trainer was confident of a victory, Johnny Rocker had to settle for second place. “I was absolutely shocked when he got beaten first-up at Flemington in a Benchmark 70, but it was Mornington Glory that beat him,” Ryan admitted. “It turns out that day they ran something like the fifth fastest time up the straight in history. “I stood there that day and thought, ‘What have I done here?’ but looking back now, it’s no surprise.” Since that initial effort, Johnny Rocker has secured a win in a Benchmark 78 (1200m) at The Valley and placed second in the Group 1 William Reid Stakes (1200m) from five starts. “The owners had a very high opinion of him and when they sent him to me, they said ‘aim for the stars and work your way down.’ We did that, and it nearly paid off.” While Johnny Rocker still has “a fair bit to come in the coat, Ryan was pleased with his trial at Cranbourne against some strong competition and is confident in his readiness for the Moir. “I’m happy with the way he’s come through it. He’s certainly ready to run in the Moir,” Ryan concluded. Johnny Rocker is currently a +1400 winning chance with horse racing bookmakers for Saturday’s Moir Stakes.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Without hesitation Sunday morning, Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas said he knows what he will be doing Monday, his 89th birthday. “Training horses,” he said. “I got two in, and I'll see if I can make it a special day by trying to get those things at least closer or win one. I told Laurie, my wife, 'for a birthday present, I'd like see one of them jump up and win.'” A victory on closing day of the Saratoga Race Course season would enable Lukas to have a positive end to what he said has been a less-than-satisfying summer. He entered Sunday with a 1-5-2 record from 29 starts. “The nice thing is, I still enjoy getting on that pony and riding out there and training and seeing the results and everything,” he said. “But it has been very frustrating from a standpoint of where I thought I could take some of these horses.” Four of those five seconds came in 2-year-old maiden special weight races, which Lukas said may show that his youngsters are on the verge of producing some victories. “I didn't get that one, Ripped (City of Light), even started, and he's one that we really think is special,” Lukas said. “I hope, to have a big fall. We should come up strong in the fall, and then I'm comfortable, if I can just develop them at Hot Springs over the winter.” Ever the optimist, Lukas was promoting his 2-year-olds last summer and predicting great things for 2024. One of the colts he was touting was My Racehorse's Seize the Grey (Arrogate). Seize the Grey, who broke his maiden in July and was third in the Skidmore Stakes. In May, Seize the Grey won the GI Preakness Stakes, making Lukas the oldest trainer to win a Triple Crown race. “Laurie reminded me of that today,” he said. “She reminded me that we won a Classic this year. I was complaining. I have a tendency to think that they all have to win.” Seize the Grey was seventh in the GI Belmont Stakes at Saratoga on June 8 and finished fourth in the GII Jim Dandy Stakes on July 27. The decision was made to bypass the GI DraftKings Travers Stakes on Aug 24 and prepare him for the $1-million GI Pennsylvania Derby on Sept. 21 at Parx. “We've got to sneak over there with him,” Lukas said. “That would be another nice one to get.” Lukas has always been forward-looking and he said another Seize the Grey scenario is possible. “I think that we've got a great shot to win some Classics next year,” he said. “I really like our 2-year-olds. I know I've been saying that right along, but we bought horses that are definitely Classic-type horses, and we've asked them to do some things that aren't in their wheelhouse like, 5 1/2 furlongs, six furlongs and stuff like that. I think that as they develop this fall, and they look like they're going in the right direction to me, that they're big, sound horses, I think we have a chance to really step up and have a big spring. I'm hoping for a big spring, and turning 90.” When he was at the top of the sport, Lukas managed a nationwide stable stocked with dozens of horses. At this point in his career, he feels that 40 horses is enough. “I was concerned five, six years ago,” he said. “When you get a little age on you, people start turning to the younger people. I thought that was coming, but before I came up here, I turned down 17 new ones.” Lukas said he did accept four more from MyRacehorse. “My major clients that have got a large stable already haven't backed up a bit,” he said, referring to BC Stable. “They're going right into the sale this fall with a vengeance.” Lukas's final starter of the season will be Innovate (Authentic) in the GI Hopeful Stakes–a race he has won a record eight times from 35 starts–the 10th race Monday. “He's a maiden, but he ran a nice second,” Lukas said. “He's a developing horse. The way I looked at that, he doesn't know he was second. He was flying at the end there. If he won, we would have said, 'Well, we got to point him for the Hopeful.' He didn't win, but we're still pointing for the Hopeful. I've done that before.” End of An Era as Rice Approaches Retirement Although he hasn't made it official yet, Harry Rice thinks Monday might be his final day as a NYRA valet at Saratoga Race Course. He has talked about retirement before, but he said this could be the year he steps away from a job he has had–working with and for jockeys–for nearly 50 years. “I've had a great run,” he said. Rice, 66, said he has been aiming to retire at the end of the 2025 Saratoga season. He said he likely will leave sooner if a contract with the union that represents valets and the people who work in the silks room completes negotiations on a new contract with NYRA. The contract may include incentives for him to retire. Rice is the shop steward. With a friendly, outgoing personality, Rice is a well-known figure at the NYRA tracks. That is especially true at Saratoga where jockeys and valets walk through the crowd to the paddock and back to the jocks' dressing room after each race. It often seems that everyone knows Rice and vice versa. Rice knows his time to leave is approaching, but isn't anxious to go. “I enjoy it,” he said. “I enjoy the people I work with.” Rice's father was a pressman at the New York Times and had a part-time job with the Pinkerton security company at the NYRA tracks. Rice said he could have followed his father into the newspaper business, but opted for racing. Harry Rice | Sarah Andrew “I started out as a Pinkerton for like a day and then I went to the White Caps,” he said. “I stayed there until I graduated high school and then I started at NYRA. My first day in the jock's room was January 6, 1976. I've just enjoyed it so much. And the people you meet and friendships you make, it's good, and it will be sad. I'll always come back up here.” Through the years, Rice has gotten to know dozens of jockeys who have competed at the NYRA tracks. “I got to work for a lot of great guys, and then work for a lot of great jockeys,” he said. “It goes all the way back to Jean Cruguet, then Mike Smith, Mike Luzzi and I'm working for Frankie Dettori now. I've had relations with these guys for 30 years. I'm still very close with Cruguet, Chris McCarron, Corey Nakatani, Rajiv Maragh. I don't want to leave any of the guys out. They were all good. And steeplechase guys.” Rice has already started the transition toward retirement and recognizes that he will have more flexibility in his life. “I tend bar two days a week in a place, Lee's Tavern, in Staten Island,” he said. “It's a very famous neighborhood bar with tremendous pizza. Then I'm going to make some trips. I'm going to go visit some racetracks that I haven't been to. And I'd like to go to Oaklawn and Del Mar, and some other ones. And then I will always come up here. I want to sit with the guys I've known for years from all over the place underneath that tree with a cooler. I'm looking forward to that. And just looking forward to take it a little easier because it's a grind.” While people who know him wonder whether Rice may postpose retirement until next year, he said the settlement of the contract will be a bittersweet turning point for him. “It's not only your livelihood,” he said, “but the racetrack is your life.” Stewart Has a Pair in the Hopeful Trainer Dallas Stewart has had a solid Saratoga season with a 3-3-4 record from 20 starts. He will try to pick up a big prize Monday with a pair of runners in the closing-day GI Hopeful Stakes. Stewart will saddle Tough Catch (Complexity) and Smoken Wicked (Bobby's Wicked One) in the seven-furlong test. Tough Catch won a July 13 maiden special weight and, in his only local appearance, Smoken Wicked was third, beaten 3 1/2 lengths, in the GII Saratoga Special on Aug. 10. The veteran trainer is a partner in Tough Catch with S.O.K. Racing, Gervais Racing, On Our Own Stable and Zak Stables. “Very nice horse,” Stewart said. “Trained great at Churchill. Came in here, I don't even think we worked here, but walked over there and beat a nice field. Did it the right way. He's just been training steady with a nice work pattern going up to the race. We know it's a great race. Lot of good horses in there. He's ready.” Tough Catch was purchased for $280,000 at the OBS April sale of 2-year-olds. “We had others that we had liked, too,” Stewart said. “Then we got to him, and he was an extremely nice-looking colt. Just moved good, worked good. Kind of what we were looking for and hopefully we would get him in the price range. He fit what we wanted.” The unexpected bonus for Stewart and his partners is that Complexity has emerged as a top first-class sire. “We didn't know much about the Complexitys at the time,” Steward said, “and then they just started popping: boom, boom, boom.” Smoken Wicked is a Louisiana-bred who sold for $38,000. “He's a horse that Murray Valene bought,” Stewart said. “I've been training for him for a long time. I've had like seven or eight champions, for him, Louisiana-breds. He's an ex polo player, so he picks his own horses out. He knows horses, and he saw this horse as a yearling at a sale in Louisiana and bought him. After the colt broke his maiden by 7 1/2 lengths at Evangeline Downs on June 1, Valene sent him to Stewart in Kentucky. He finished second in the Bashford Manor Stakes at Churchill Downs on June 30 at 32-1 and earned a spot in the string of 10 Stewart brought to Saratoga to start the meet. “He ran good there, comes here runs good in the Special and pushes on to the Hopeful,” Stewart said. “He's had a race over the track. Good work. Big, strong, impressive looking. Looks like a 3-year-old, matter of fact. Should run well. Seven furlongs should fit him very well.” The post Saratoga Notebook, Sponsored by NYRA Bets: Lukas Would Relish a Special Birthday Gift appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Not seen since he successfully invaded the GI Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn back in the spring, 'TDN Rising Star' Muth (Good Magic–Hoppa, by Uncle Mo) returned to the races and zoomed home to win the Shared Belief Stakes at the seaside oval on Sunday afternoon. The 3-year-old for Zedan Racing was forced to scratch before the GI Preakness Stakes because of a fever. Targeting the Del Mar meet, trainer Bob Baffert entered him in this spot and clearly the public believed he was ready since he went off as a heavy favorite. Following the lead of longshot Pony Express (Gun Runner) into the first turn, Muth was set up nicely to pounce by the far turn. The colt gunned his engine down the lane and won by 3 1/2 lengths over Indispensable (Constitution). The final running time was 1:35.64. Lifetime Record: 7-5-2-0.

After an objection and lengthy look by the stewards, it was 2-year-old colt Chasing Liberty (Constitution–Peaceful, Declaration of War) who was awarded the top prize when Under Whose Radar (Violence) was disqualified for impeding his progress late in the race and placed second in the $1 million National Thoroughbred League Juvenile Sprint at Kentucky Downs on Sunday. Under Whose Radar led out of the gate and continued to make the pace into the lane. As favorite Black Forza (Complexity) tried to overcome a tough beginning, Chasing Liberty flashed his speed and was full of run down the center of the course. Inside the final sixteenth, Under Whose Radar suddenly veered into Chasing Liberty's lane and then crossed the wire first. The ensuing objection and decision took Under Whose Radar down and place him second. Chasing Liberty was then elevated to first. Black Forza finished off the board.

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – There could be another weekend of racing at Saratoga Race Course in 2025, if a plan being considered by the New York Racing Association is adopted. Although the racing would take place at the historic upstate facility, NYRA officials said it technically would not be an expansion of the 40-day Saratoga season. If the proposal is approved, the Fourth of July weekend–July 4 falls on a Friday–at Saratoga would be the final days of the Belmont of Aqueduct meet. The changes, most notably moving the GI Belmont Stakes to Saratoga this year and in 2025, is due to the reconstruction of Belmont Park. For the second consecutive year, the GI Belmont Stakes will be held in 2025 at Saratoga on June 7. This year, it was surrounded by a four-day festival. NYRA spokesperson Patrick McKenna said that under the proposal being discussed, racing would return to Aqueduct for three more weeks and then move back to Saratoga Race Course for the final weekend of the Belmont at Aqueduct meet. The 40-day Saratoga season will begin the following Thursday, June 10 and run through Labor Day, Sept 1.

In her debut, Quickick (McKinzie) ran well to be third but couldn't overcome a slow beginning as she dropped 15 lengths off the pace in the early going. So trainer Tom Amoss added blinkers and jockey Dylan Davis made sure to stay close to the early pace. That made all the difference as Quickick broke her maiden in Sunday's seventh race at Saratoga, winning by 2 1/2 lengths. Amoss also told Davis to try to get the filly to the outside where she wouldn't be bothered by the kickback. She broke from post one. “I told him if she's not taking that dirt in the face move her out,” Amoss said. “Dylan did just that. When he did she kicked home nicely.” Quickick was sent off as the 4-1 third-choice in the race as the money kept rolling in on two first-time starters, favorite Scottish Lassie (McKinzie) and second-choice Snowyte (Good Magic). Both ran well as Snowyte set the pace and Scottish Lassie was never far back in third. By mid-stretch Snowyte had taken a one-length lead and Scottish Lassie was right behind her. But the more experienced filly, Quickick, outran them all in the final sixteenth to earn the win. “Having a race under your belt, knowing what to tell the rider and the rider having experience with the horse,” Amoss said. “That's the advantage of having a race under your belt.” Owner Gregory Tramontin bought Quickick for $550,000 at the 2023 Keeneland sale. Amoss had some inside knowledge on the dam, as he trained her. She made 17 starts and won five races, including the GIII Winning Colors Stakes. “Her mom, Graeme Six, was a little bitty girl,” Amoss recalled. “She came up to New York and placed in a Grade I stakes (the 2007 Prioress) and that made her a momma. She's been a really prolific momma. Quickick is is a great example of the babies she's had. Quickick is the polar opposite of her mom. She's tall and lengthy.” Graeme Six (Graeme Hall) has had 11 foals and 10 of them are winners. The list includes Cali Star (Street Cry {Ire}), the winner of the 2015 GIII Rampart Stakes, and Delightful Joy (Tapit), the winner of the GIII Monmouth Oaks, also in 2015. Amoss is eager to test his filly against tougher competition. “We talk about it all the time,” he said. “I'll talk to the owner, Greg Tramontin. I know he is excited about her too. We would like to see how she competes with the other 2-year-old fillies in the nation going a little further distance and going two turns.” Quickick covered the seven furlongs in 1:23.78 and paid $10.40. She was also sold at the 2022 Keeneland November sale, where she brought $275,000. 7th-Saratoga, $100,000, Msw, 9-1, 2yo, f, 7f, 1:23.78, ft, 2 1/2 lengths. QUICKICK (f, 2, McKinzie–Graeme Six {GSW & GISP, $338,854}, by Graeme Hall) recovered from a poor beginning to come on for third at odds of 4-1 in her debut over course and distance Aug. 11. Away at those same odds but racing with the addition of blinkers Sunday, the $550,000 Keeneland yearling got off to a better start and found herself mid pack behind Snowyte (Good Magic). With an inside trip that had her poised for a run off the turn, Quickick tipped outside of that pacesetter to get first jump with race favorite Scottish Lassie (McKinzie) moving with her, got up on even terms past the eighth pole and spurted clear late to deny the early leader by 2 1/2 lengths. The seventh winner for her freshman sire (by Street Sense), Quickick is out of $950,000 broodmare buy Graeme Six, already the producer of this winner's half-siblings Seymourdini (Bernardini), SW, $242,027, Cali Star (Street Cry {Ire}), GSW, $348,080 and Delightful Joy (Tapit), GSW, $179,200, who herself has produced GSW Window Shopping (American Pharoah). Graeme Six returned to McKinzie two subsequent times but after Quickick but failed to catch for both 2023 and 2024. She was bred to Olympiad for 2025.

Earning a Boy Scout bugle merit badge is one of the toughest to collect and so is winning a dirt race from way off it. In his Sunday debut at Del Mar, the 'TDN Insighted' Bullard (Gun Runner–Reve d'Amour, by Warrior's Reward) sounded his bugle and charged home to graduate, which earned the 2-year-old a 'TDN Rising Star' merit badge for his effort. Not so swift out of the gate, the colt trailed as favorite Kalea Bay (Authentic) carved out the fractions. Not willing to accept defeat, Bullard rolled around the far turn, got clear to the outside and set his sights on the pacesetter. His massive kick down the lane was strong and he got the money. The final running time was 1:10.32. This was the 15th 'TDN Rising Star' for the accomplished Gun Runner. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0. Sales History: $675,000 '23 KEESEP. O-St. Elias Stable, Talla Racing LLC, Three Chimneys Farm and West Point Thoroughbreds; B-Three Chimneys Farm LLC (Ky); T-Michael McCarthy. #3 BULLARD ($8.80) runs down Kalea Bay to break his maiden on debut in the opener at @DelMarRacing. @umbyrispoli rode the two-year-old colt by @Three_Chimneys' Gun Runner for trainer @mwmracing. pic.twitter.com/5f7mmbMmjY — FanDuel Racing (@FanDuel_Racing) September 1, 2024 The post Gun Runner Colt Bullard Sounds The Bugle And Earns ‘TDN Rising Star’ Badge At Del Mar appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.

Campaigned by JR Ranch, Ramiro Restrepo, High Step Racing and OGMA Investments, the $1.3-million OBS March graduate romped to a 7 3/4-length debut win and earned a 'TDN Rising Star' label Aug. 3. Off a step slow in that unveiling, Ferocious settled in a good stalking position behind an opening quarter-mile in :22.06 over a muddy and sealed main track. Tipped out to the three path at the quarter-pole through a half-mile in :45.61, he was in command with a furlong to run, scoring in a final time of 1:09.65 for six furlongs. The winning effort earned a 96 Beyer Speed Figure–the highest number recorded by any 2-year-old this year. Ferocious has worked twice since that debut win, going four furlongs in :50.88 (48/64) Aug. 18 and five furlongs in 1:02.63 (3/6) Aug. 24. “Since his first race, everything has been pretty straightforward with him,” said Gustavo Delgado, Jr., son and assistant to trainer Gustavo Delgado, Sr. “He's had a couple of breezes–both of them very easy and all the signs you want to see with a horse after his first race are there. It's hard to say after a 96 Beyer Speed Figure first time out that he's going to improve, but it's more about getting the foundation that young horses at this time of the year need. Everybody is excited to see him run again.” Ferocious will have another furlong to work with in the Hopeful and Delgado said the added distance will be a benefit to the colt, who will break from post two Monday. “I think the extra furlong will help him. He will have more time to relax,” Delgado said. “He seems to be a very nice horse. We don't know how good he is yet, but it's just a matter of putting him out there. We're aware of the horses he's going to face this time and there's a few horses everybody is high on, and they can improve a lot from one race to another.” Ferocious was the second-highest priced offering following a :9 4/5 work at the OBS March sale. “Everybody–not just us–liked this horse and that's why we had to pay that price for our clients,” Delgado said. “Apart from that, he did have one of the best, if not the best, breeze for that sale. His physique, his conformation and family all suggested he was a really nice horse. He's got a classy way about him and when he walks, he's very elegant.” Flanagan Racing's Chancer McPatrick (McKinzie), who earned his own 'TDN Rising Star' label with his late-running debut victory going 6 1/2 furlongs July 27 for trainer Chad Brown, will break from post eight and is 5-2 on the morning line. “Based on his morning works, I expected him to be a mid-pack type of horse if he broke well,” Brown said of the colt's debut effort. “But then he got shuffled back and found himself in a very challenging position early. I was quite impressed with the way he overcame it. Flavien [Prat] went to 'Plan B' and was very patient and the horse really came through. It's his talent that really prevailed.” Chancer McPatrick most recently worked four furlongs in :49.00 (19/94) over the main track at Saratoga Aug. 25. “He looks super. He's been training very well,” Brown said. Brown will also saddle Klaravich Stables' Incentive Pay (Volatile) in the Hopeful. The chestnut breaks from the outside in the nine-horse field and is 8-1 on the morning line. He was a debut winner with a rail-skimming rally going six furlongs at Saratoga July 20. “I was quite impressed with him that he was able to come up the rail and run like a horse that has done it before,” Brown said. “I know he's really got to come forward on his figures–there are some fast horses in this race–but he ran early in the meet, and I feel I only had the horse 80% fit. I'd never breezed him past a half-mile and I think there's a lot of room for improvement there. He's really done well [since].” The Hopeful is the 10th of 12 races on Saratoga's closing-day card with a post time of 5:43 p.m. The post Ferocious Ready to Rumble in Hopeful appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
