Racing’s incessant demands did not allow the family adequate time to grieve following the May 25 death of trainer Christophe Clement, a Hall of Fame finalist. His loved ones instead found the best way to honor his memory – by banding together to continue his decades of success.

I have visited Saratoga Race Course as a reporter or fan every summer since the mid-1970s. Every meet produces its share of spectacular performances, human and equine. Here are 10 highlights from this summer’s action:

In his stakes debut, Ted Noffey moved toward the front entering the stretch and drew off late for a decisive victory in the $300,000 Grade 1 Spendthrift Farm Hopeful Stakes Sept. 1 at Saratoga Race Course.

Tom Pedulla offers takeaways from a pair of $1 million marquee events, the Pacific Classic on Saturday at Del Mar and the Jockey Club Gold Cup on Sunday at Saratoga Race Course, plus other Labor Day weekend races that offered automatic berths to the 2025 Breeders’ Cup World Championships at Del Mar.

Antiquarian withstood the late run of Sierra Leone to win the $1 million Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup Stakes Aug.
