Steamy and sunny here at Saratoga today. This morning among the barns was particularly hot, but there was a slight breeze that made it possible to stay upright and not pass out.
Rags to Riches galloped at Saratoga for the first time Wednesday and again Thursday. Trainer Todd Pletcher said she seems to like Saratoga very much (who wouldn't, if you're getting the royal treatment everywhere you go?). She is set to breeze early next week, which will be an indication of how ready she is for the Alabama.
Wednesday and Thursday are typically slow days, but Friday has the Grade II Honorable Miss on the card and the Grade I Test Stakes will be run Saturday. The sprint for fillies should be an entertaining race, with some pretty quality horses facing off. Hope it cools down a little bit.
