Gotta love Saratoga/NYRA - Condition Book

The quality of the fields at Saratoga is improved as compared to the regular NYRA circuit because of the outside outfits. NY breds may fill out the cards and are great for owners but a negative at a meet like Saratoga. Without the outside outfits, Saratoga would just be Belmont North. Not to mention that shipping up and down the highway doesnt seem to bother the NY trainers that stable most of their better horses in Saratoga the rest of the Spring, summer and fall and ship to run at the downstate meets.

My friend has a really really nice 2yo that is with Kenneally. I can't remember the horses name but the sire is War Chant....the horse should be a freak. Kenneally has some really nice horses in his barn and I would not be surprised if he has a really nice spa meet with 2yo or his whole barn in general.

War Chant isn't exactly the sire you would be thinking of when you are talking two year olds at Saratoga. Of course unless you are strictly pointing to turf spots.

He will be running on the turf....I will get the name of the horse so people can look out.

I dont think anyone can top KRIM's 'when rail trip runs, all will know his name.'

Didn't Rail Trip just win the Hollywood Gold Cup?

If a baby is well prepared for 2yo grass races at the Spa, they can do well. Alot of the grass horses are being given a race since there is no September grass stake that they are pointing for. Even now with a "BC" turf for juvies, there is still no real program for 2yo grassers. Most of them (in NY) are just well bred horses that didn't go well on dirt.

My friends horse looks like it might be a monster....won yesterday in the 6th at Belmont.....first start was rained off the turf at saratoga but this horse looks for real....Kenneally might not have had the greatest Spa meet but he is a very good trainer.

He ended up having a good meet with his 2yos, as one poster (Gales, I think) had predicted.

good insight, but the north doesn't need Churchill horses to strive, we need less non starters that they hay down here. Waisted space for non runners/starters= bull crap.
