If you can be there, highly recommend. Best wishes and congrats to all inductees!.
I have experienced many amazing days at #Saratoga, but Hall of Fame Day, which I attended with my family so many times as a kid, is my favorite day of the meet. It truly highlights some of my favorite things about the sport. Previewing tomorrow's ceremony:.

Thank you, Big P. We are eternally grateful to Preservationist & heartbroken to learn he passed away after colicking. He was not only a tremendously talented horse, but a wonderful personality. It was an honor & privilege to be associated w/him. @theTDN:

Oh no! Only 12 years old. So sorry for him and all who loved him. Godspeed, Preservationist. 💗.
Well, this is a bummer.

Embarrassed to say, I'm behind on reading and haven't got this one yet. But I like the idea of turning the spotlight on Man o' War and a bunch of other greats! (see article 🏇😊🏇).
Is Man o’ War the greatest of all time? 🐎. Author Mark Shrager doesn’t shy away from racing’s most enduring debate. In his new book, he puts the original Big Red head-to-head with legends from Exterminator to Flightline.
