With a blazing track record and a hunger for victory, Conquist has proven time and again that it’s the one to beat. Similarly, in the race for the underdogs, Outlaw Kid emerges as the dark horse ready to surprise all. With a history of impressive turf sprint performances, it’s evident that this talented racer has all the makings of a winner. Race 7 presents a battleground for the turf sprint specialists. No. 9 Outlaw Kid, with a history of triumphant turf sprints, seeks redemption after a tough outing at Woodbine. With the illustrious Javier Castellano back on board, it’s a force to be reckoned with. 

However, No. 2 Our Shot, a Keeneland turf dash victor, and No. 1 Bring Me a Check, riding a streak of consecutive wins, are determined to challenge the favorite’s dominance. According to a Horse Racing Nation report, the grand finale will have all eyes on No. 8 Conquist. A near-wire winner at Belmont exudes unmatched potential and promises a thrilling run with Saez guiding it to glory. Yet, lurking in the shadows is No. 11 Your Mission, boasting impressive speed figures and yearning to silence the skeptics. And let’s not forget about No. 9 Wayward Ghost, whose late burst of speed in its debut race left everyone in awe. However, there are a host of other races and contenders who are all looking for pole finishes at Saratoga.
