Like the previous poster said--he wasn't dead by then...and ran 5th in the race.
It was three Pletcher horses who ran within a span of about a week at Saratoga in 2002.
Warners died right after his big figure allowance win, Freedom's Daughter died right after her spectacularly game Schuylerville win, and Left Bank got sick after his 119 Beyer Whitney win over Street Cry....and died later that year.
