The future is now at Saratoga Race Course. Welcome to the Fourth of July racing festival at Saratoga, an inaugural event most figure by 2027 will become the opening week of an extended summer season at the upstate New York track. With the new Belmont Park on target to host racing again by the fall [...
By US Racing Team When Milton Sanford bought a yearling sired by eventual Hall of Famer Lexington and out of Bay Leaf, by The Promised Land from A. J. Alexander, he named the colt Preakness. Preakness was the eighth foal out of British-bred Bay Leaf and cost Sanford $2,000. And it was Preakness who ...
By US Racing Team Mage finally gets a measure of well-earned respect as the 8-5 favorite in the $1.65 million Preakness (G1) on Saturday at Pimlico. Eighteen horses saddled up for the Kentucky Derby (G1) and only Mage, the winner, returns two weeks later for the middle jewel of the Triple Crown. Mag...
By US Racing Team The Triple Crown season should be the best of times in horse racing. This year, it’s hard to think of worse times. Yes, Mage was a popular winner of the Kentucky Derby (G1) on May 6. And, yes, he’s ready for the Preakness (G1) on Saturday (May 20), with a victory […]...
By US Racing Team Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Mage will face seven new rivals in the $1.65 million Preakness Stakes (G1) at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday, the first time in more than 50 years only one horse from the Derby is moving on to the second leg of the Triple Crown. Mage, the Derby […...
Attendance at the Preakness Stakes usually ranks second in North America behind the Kentucky Derby and usually surpasses the attendance of all other stakes races, including the Belmont Stakes, the Breeders' Cup Saturday program and Kentucky Oaks Day. Unfortunately in 2020 there were no spectators du...
By US Racing Team At least Kentucky Derby (G1) winner Mage is still on course to run in the $1.5 million Preakness (G1) at Pimlico Race Course on May 20. The same can’t be said for scratched morning-line Derby favorite Forte, Derby runner-up Two Phil’s, and several other early contenders for the...
By US Racing Team Upon further review, it sure makes sense when you think of the Kentucky Derby (G1) this way: Favorite Forte was scratched hours before the race, and Mage, who ran second to Forte in the Florida Derby (G1) last month, won the Run for the Roses. Pretty simple, right? But when it [&he...
By US Racing Team Viva Venezuela! Mage took charge in the stretch and outdueled Two Phil’s in an exciting finish to the 149th Kentucky Derby (G1) on Saturday at Churchill Downs before a crowd of 150,335. The lightly raced colt came into the Derby with just a maiden victory in three career starts b...
By US Racing Staff This time, the end of the dream for owner Mike Repole came on the morning of the $3 million Kentucky Derby (G1). Forte, the 2-year-old champion and favorite to win Saturday’s Run for the Roses (post time 6:57 p.m. ET), was scratched from the Kentucky Derby by the Kentucky Hors...
By US Racing Staff The $1.25 million Kentucky Oaks (G1) turned into an international affair after Pretty Mischievous made a stretch run to victory on Friday at Churchill Downs in front of a crowd of 106,381.
