Steve Klesaris said one couldn't print what he was thinking when his Raydar Control got knocked back to last in his most recent start. Klesaris is hopeful there will be a lot less angst when he sends Raydar Control back out Sunday at Gulfstream Park.

Heeere’s Johnny, the only maiden in the field, rallied from last just a furlong from the wire to upset a very contentious edition of the $150,000 Saranac Stakes on a hot and steamy Friday afternoon at Saratoga.

Trainer Steve Asmussen readily admitted his concern when learning his promising 2-year-old Booked had scratched into the one post for Saturday’s $225,000 Sanford Stakes at Saratoga. Booked had ducked in sharply from the inside gate, losing his best chance in the process, when finishing second in launching his career earlier this season at Churchill Downs.

Phileas Fogg led throughout before holding on desperately in the final strides to register a head victory over Antiquarian in the 2025 Suburban Stakes. But there was no such drama when Phileas Fogg returned a year later to defend that title, as he totally dominated an arguably stronger field that included Antiquarian in the 2026 Grade 2 fixture at Saratoga.

Trainer Horacio De Paz got the pace scenario he was hoping for when he entered Twenty Six Black in Sunday’s $200,000 Harvey Pack Stakes at Saratoga. The late-striding New York-bred did the rest, finishing strongly down the center of the course to register a convincing 2 3/4-length victory over Possiblemente in the 5 1/2-furlong turf dash.

Gulfstream Park will unveil a revised racing schedule beginning this weekend that includes live racing on Mondays over the next eight weeks of the Royal Palm meeting, along with a quartet of new wagers.

Little did trainer J. Kent Sweezey realize when he first opted to try Sunna on the turf this winter at Gulfstream Park, what a profound effect that decision would have on his young filly's career.

Movin’ On Up, benefitting from a perfect pace setup created in large part by her stablemate In Our Time, rallied from last to a 1 1/4-length victory over Zeitlos in Saturday’s $200,000 Caress Stakes at Saratoga.

Trainer George Weaver's Plan B worked out to perfection after Cy Fair rallied to an impressive 2 1/2-length victory over Sapphire Beach and three other overmatched 3-year-old fillies in the Grade 3 Coronation Cup Saturday at a soggy Saratoga.

It’s hard to improve on perfection but trainer Miguel Clement is confident Deterministic, who has won his last five starts including three Grade 1 races, can do just that when he looks to defend his title on Aug. 8 in the Grade 1 Fourstardave.
