Description

For the reason that inaugural meeting was once held in August 1863, Saratoga Springs has been the scene of memorable races, continuously featuring legends of the sport. Even supposing one of the most epic moments are still familiar nowadays, such as Upset’s defeat of Man o’ War in the 1919 Sanford Memorial, most of the triumphs and defeats that were once famous have been forgotten. Few take into account that the filly Los Angeles, who thrived at Saratoga, winning sixteen stakes races, or the reasons why the track was once closed three times for a total of six years. Authors Allan Carter and Mike Kane have a look back at these and other important but neglected stories and present statistics from the pre-NYRA years and a rundown of the greatest fields assembled at The us’s oldest track.
