Stakes races on tap

We are awaiting the start of the seventh race at Saratoga, the Grade II Bernard Baruch. Cosmonaut is the 2-1 favorite right now.

Gov. Eliot Spitzer made a quick trip to the press box a little bit ago and discussed where things stand with the franchise. He said he still plans on having his recommendation finalized by the Sept. 4 deadline "or shortly thereafter." He also said he has been a horse racing fan for many years and understands just how important the industry is to this area, and New York as a whole. We shall see what he does in due time.

Oh, still no rain and it's terribly hot and humid out.
