Today is it for racing at Saratoga this summer. It's been a long six weeks, but a pretty good one. The meets closes with one of my favorite races, the Hopeful Stakes for 2-year-olds. It's perfect weather, so the track should be fast, and two of the top juveniles in the country will go head-to-head as Ready's Image and Maimonides will start.
Also, the jockey title is still up for grabs. Kent Desormeaux went nuts Sunday with four winners and he is now tied with Cornelio Velasquez with 43 winners apiece. Looking ahead, both have mounts in the 10th and final race. Overall, Desormeaux has nine mounts today while Velasquez has seven. First race goes off in 30 minutes and the last is scheduled for 5:52 p.m.
