Tishmeister won Thursday's feature race, the New York Stallion Series "Statue of Liberty" Division with jockey Javier Castellano aboard. Don't Mind Me was second and Western Sweep was third.
In other news at Saratoga, Flashy Bull was retired by West Point Thoroughbreds and trainer Kiaran McLaughlin. Flashy Bull won the Grade I Stephen Foster Handicap earlier this year, but was disappointing in the Grade I Whitney Handicap at Saratoga. Perhaps the leg fracture just found was the reason why.
Also, the Travers Stakes is looking less and less interesting every day. Any Given Saturday is likely out, which means Todd Pletcher will not have a horse in the race. Curlin is a real longshot and Hard Spun is going to run in the King's Bishop, a sprint on the Travers undercard. Sounds like Saratoga's premier race is going to anything but.....
