alabama stakes

The Run Happy Travers may be behind us but two major graded Stakes races are on the schedule for this weekend at the Saratoga Racecourse. The Saratoga Derby and the Alabama Stakes are both on the card for Saturday at Saratoga. Levack and Goz talk to NYRA's Andy Serling to get his early thoughts on who to watch this Saturday and more importantly who to wager on.

On Saturday, seven of the world's best three year old fillies will take to the Saratoga track for the 132nd edition of the Alabama Stakes.  The Grade One is but a fraction of the five big-time races gracing the weekend's card, however, and we've got each broken down below.

It was a gorgeous summer day at the Saratoga Race Course for the 131st running of the Alabama Stakes.  The race was supposed to be the crowning of It's Tricky, the three year old filly who had already won two legs of the TVG Triple Tiara.  However, Royal Delta stole the show and scored an emphatic victory.
