It's a perfect afternoon at Saratoga. The sun is out, the temperature and humidity are both down and the wind is blowing comfortably. The Test Stakes goes off in less than two hours, and Dream Rush and Cotton Blossom figure to be the top money-getters.
Already today, Derby entrant Teuflesberg has run over the turf - for the first time. Last year's suprise Sanford Stakes runner-up fared well over the turf, pressing the pace and holding on well for second. Trainer Jamie Sanders said she had to let the horse run, even though her initial plan was to wait for the King's Bishop. Regardless, the 3-year-old colt figures to get hsi 20th career start in the meet's top spring race, part of the Travers Day undercard. Teuflesberg hasn't won a whole lot of races in his career but he seems to put in a solid effort more often that not. Nearly winning a Grade II juvenile race at Saratoga as a maiden is quite a feat, and it looks like he still enjoys Saratoga - no matter the surface.
