  • A Higher Power Hits Classic Trail

    You can't say it hasn't been a strange, but remarkably productive, year for jockey Flavien Prat. Following the Kentucky Derby, I chronicled his bizarre path to Churchill Downs for the Run for the Roses, as he went through one contender after another, including Derby favorite Omaha Beach, before winding up on 65-1 shot Country House and then ...

  • Travers a Triple Crown Postscript

    Each year, the Travers Stakes takes on a look of its own. Some years it proves to be an extension of the Triple Crown races and other years the Triple Crown horses make little impact, as fresh faces such as Arrogate, West Coast, V.E.

I) through the years, and if #3 Bricks and Mortar runs as I expect he will in Saturday's renewal of the 1 ¼-mile race, his name might eventually rank among the ...

  • Cot Campbell: A True Pioneer

    On August 11 at the Reading Room in Saratoga, Cot Campbell's family and friends will celebrate the life of the man who changed the face of Thoroughbred racing.
