all in Breeders' Cup

The $500,000, Grade 1 Fourstardave Handicap at Saratoga this weekend is a race you don’t want to miss. The race is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 10, but might be rescheduled to Sunday, Aug. 11, if heavy rain forecasted for the upstate New York region on Friday and Saturday causes races to be moved off the turf.

One of the marquee races of Saratoga Race Course’s summer meet is set for this weekend, when the $500,000, Grade 1 Fourstardave Handicap will be run on the inner turf course.

The Breeders’ Cup prep season is in full gear as the second weekend of August approaches, with three “Win and You’re In” races on the calendar, two in the U.S. and one in France.

After a weekend featuring one of the most important prep races for the Longines Breeders’ Cup Classic wrapped up with Arthur’s Ride winning the Whitney Stakes, attention turns to turf racing this upcoming weekend with three Challenge Series preps on the schedule.

The fields for the 14 races that comprise the Breeders’ Cup World Championships really begin to come into focus in summer and fall. This regular feature will offer a snapshot profile of one of the previous weekend’s standout stars, usually a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series winner, and exploring their chances to win a targeted race Nov. 1-2 at Del Mar.
