Historic Saratoga is ready for its Centennial Season. The featured races are the Whitney Handicap, Alabama Stakes, and Travers Stakes. The Whitney is headed by Sunstruck, Mongo, Delta Judge and Gun Bow. The Alabama is headed by Beautiful Day, Castle Forbes, Time For Bed, Petite Rouge, Silwall, Sweet Witch, Sabemar, and Miss Cavandish. The Travers (in the mud) is Portfolio, Hillrise, Raymont, Quadrangle and Nightly Manner. The late, great Chris Schenkel narrates, and Fred Capossella calls the races.
This is Part 1: The Whitney and Alabama. A portion of the Post Parade for the Travers is featured. The Travers race will be on Part 2.
They had a mile chute on the clubhouse turn in those days. When did they remove it?
