How wonderful!

Gee, it must be grand at this time of year in Saratoga. It's supposed to be a longtime summer vacation spot and have lovely Victorian houses.

It is. Definitely a grand track with a family-friendly atmosphere. I want to go there so badly but only if I can go with a friend. Will Take Charge won, followed by Moreno and Orb came in 3rd.

I saw it,thanks to your alert, Johar. Who was riding Orb?

Jose Lezcano. His regular jockey Joel Rosario got hurt on Friday..
