With just two weeks left before the start of another exciting Saratoga Racecourse summer, the New York Racing Association has now released a post-time for the 40-day race. Horse racing fans in the state are being treated as there will be 71 stakes events in which world-class horses from all over the continent compete for more than $20.8 million in prize money. 카지노
This summer's competition will highlight 154th Grade 1 Traverse with US$1.25 million and Grade 1 Whitney with US$10,000. The competition will begin on Thursday, July 13, 2023, and run through Monday, September 4, 2023. At the end of the four-day weekend, there will be a five-day race a week except last week.
The NYRA's most recent media confirmed that the first post time was 1:10 p.m. Eastern time, but this is not the case for Whitney on August 5, 2023, and Traver Day on August 26, 2023. In two of these three cases, the door opens for the race at 11 a.m. Meanwhile, the door opens at 7 a.m. for the Traversal Day card.
Travers Day will have its first post-time at 11:40 a.m. with five Grade 1 stakes, a Resorts World Casino Sod Dance of $750,000 and a Breeders' Cup auto seating for the winner of the Ballerina Handicap of $500,000. The cards also include a US$500,000 Forego and a US$1,500,000 Allen Jerkens memorial.
Meanwhile, Whitney will offer three Grade I races, starting with the first post at 12:35 p.m., in which Whitney highlights a Grade I race at 1.5 miles for older horses, a $500,000 test seven-morl-long for second-year horses and a $600,000 new Torre Derby International for second-year horses.
The closing weekend begins at 12:40 p.m. post time. Saturday's card will feature a pair of Breeders' Cup “Win and You're In” led by Grade 1, a $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup for Grade 10, a $500,000 Flower Bowl for Grade 2, a Grade II Grade 2, and a $150,000 Harvey Pack.
Recently, the NYRA also announced that Saratoga Racecourse will increase its wallet. For this year's competition, the association wallet applies to New York breeders competing on the track. According to the organization, there will be a 30% increase in wallets compared to non-New York breeding horses.
In addition, over the past two weeks, the NYRA has learned that New York has approved a loan to renovate Belmont Park. This could lead to Saratoga Racecourse becoming the venue for the Belmont Stakes in 2025. However, the group expects the stake to return to the refurbished track in 2026.
