Tuesday, August 9th - Chad Brown is Going Great, but …

Chad Brown, the 32-year-old trainer who grew up 10 miles from Saratoga Race Course in Mechanicville, has had a dream start to the Saratoga meeting. After 16 days of the 40-day meet, he’d saddled nine winners. That would be a solid total for the entire meet, so it’s no wonder he’s well ahead of all b...Read More

BrianZipse · It's a little surprising to have one of my favorite turf trainers this young, but Chad Brown certainly fits the bill. I always give his horses an extra look in a grass race. I'm expecting big things for him on a national level. · 182 days ago ·

girt · We'll be staying at Longfellows the weeekend of the Alabama. I wouldn't mind a Saratoga sports bag either. It has to be more durable than the umbrella. Although the Travers is a wonderful race, there is something more special to me about Alabama. I can't quite put my finger on it. Does anyone else prefer the Alabama over the Travers? I'd like to hear your opinion. Thanks · 225 days ago ·

BigAConfidential · I was on hand for my first Alabama last year, Girt -- the classic battle between Blind Luck and Havre De Grace. Incredible day. I know what you're saying. The day has a great feel to it, with out the overcrowding of Travers Day. Agreed, Zip. Though I wish you could make it out here. Andy, I'll be there for the Whitney and Vanderbilt.
