Saratoga Selected Yearlings – August 8th & 9th, 2016
The hard-knocking 6-year-old Bradester (Lion Heart) broke through at the highest level with a game front-running triumph under the lights in Saturday night’s GI Stephen Foster H. at Churchill Downs, a Win and You’re In for the GI Breeders’ Cup Classic.
The GI Donn H., featuring a field of eight, headlines a blockbuster 13-race card at Gulfstream Park Saturday.
Donegal Racing’s Keen Ice (Curlin), the only horse to defeat Triple Crown hero American Pharoah (Pioneerof the Nile) last season, makes his 4-year-old debut in the Donn. He got going too late to finish a close fourth when last seen in the GI Clark H. at Churchill Nov. 27.
Airoforce runs in the Sam F. Davis Stakes (gr. III) the same day, and Casse said the colt will have a more intense breezed next week.
