Another big weekend in Saratoga

Saturday sees the running of the Prioress Gr 33 and the Flower Bowl Gr 2.

The Prioress has six 3yo fillies competing with Delightful Claire on top on 6/5 for Bauer-Machado and Long Neck Paula on 8/5 for Wes Ward and D Davis.

The Flower Bowl sees Miguel Clement saddling three runners which include the favourite La Mehana who Clement says is really coming on despite her 6 years.  She's already won at this level and will have Carmouche riding.  His other runners are Bellezza on 4/1 and In Time 15/1.  Be Your Best on 5/2 comes from the Joseph stable with Zayas riding.

Sunday sees the grande finale with the Jockey Club Gold Cup Gr 1 over 2000m with 9 runners.  Sierra Leone who is one of our favourite horses is on 8/5 with Fabian Prat riding for Chad Brown.  Mindframe is a serious challenger and is on 2/1 for Pletcher-Rosario.  Highland Falls is 5/1 for Cox-Saez and although we don't expect him to win White Abarrio is back in this en route to the Breeders' and is on 8/1 for Joseph-Santana.
