Saratoga, New York is one of the best summer towns in the country, with its concerts, restaurants, nightlife, and the Saratoga Race Course, attracting a terrific party vibe. Every Saturday during the summer, horse racing’s best thoroughbreds, jockeys, and trainers go to The Spa.
Whitney Day
Whitney Day, headlined by the self-titled Grade 1 stakes, is one of the best days in Saratoga’s summer meet. Along with the Whitney are three more Grade 1 races, such as the Test Stakes, Fourstardave Stakes, and Saratoga Derby.
For the Saratoga Derby, #6 On Time Girl (7-2) has the best jockey and trainer combo in this field, with Irad Ortiz and Brad Cox. On Time Girl has two wins and a second in three races at this distance and has gone off as the top betting choice in five of her last six starts.
#3 Zulu Kingdom (7-2) has gone off as the top betting choice in seven of his 11 career races and has eight wins and one third in his career. Zulu Kingdom’s jockey, Flavien Prat, and trainer, Chad Brown, are leading this summer’s Saratoga meet in earnings.
Other notable horses include #6 Capitol Hill (10-1), #1 Glavine (12-1), and #6 Sovereignty (3-1), the 2025 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes champion.
