Saratoga’s opening weekend is jam-packed with Gr1 races and the return of some of my favorite horses, like BLACK SEVENTEEN in the A.G. VAnderbilt and WAIT A WHILE in the DIana. Also, a 2yo with a pedigree to die for makes his debut, PRINCE OF WEALTH — by Empire Maker out of Dreams Gallore, too bad the paper can’t run the race for him.
