1998 Saratoga Breeders Cup Handicap [00:46]
On a day when the thrills and echoes of the Travers Stakes were still settling over the old Saratoga race track, Awesome Again lived up to his name today when he stalked the leaders into the homestretch and then swept past to win the Saratoga Breeders' Cup by three lengths and score his fourth straight victory. He is a 4-year-old son of Deputy Minister and has had a pretty good run of success in August the last couple of years. Last year, he won the Jim Dandy Stakes and ran third in the Travers. This year, he won the $400000 Whitney Handicap three weeks ago and returned to win the $300000 Saratoga Breeders' Cup. He is 4 for 4 this year and hasn't lost since last September. ''This horse just loves this race track,'' said Patrick Byrne, the trainer of Awesome Again. ''I knew Awesome Again would kick in when he had to. I couldn't have asked for more. ''The Breeders' Cup Classic in November is definitely in mind, and that's what we're shooting for. We'd like to get him to the Classic undefeated this year.'' Pat Day, winning his sixth stakes of the Saratoga meeting, kept his horse tucked in behind Dogwood Stable's Early Warning and George Steinbrenner's Concerto for a mile, and then made his move. ''We relaxed off Concerto,'' Day said, ''but we didn't want him to get too far away from us. At the three-eighths pole, we had him in our sights. ''Coming to the three-sixteenths pole, we had him where we wanted. I just bided my time from there, and called on him at the sixteenth ...

New York Watch: Hunters Bay [01:59]
Ghostzapper and Smokn Frolic won major races in New York during their racing careers, and their son 3-year-old son now has the opportunity to create his own legacy. Named Hunters Bay, the regally-bred colt became the 11th horse featured in the New York Watch series, which shines the spotlight on promising colts and fillies that have recently cleared the maiden and allowance ranks at Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park, or Saratoga Race Course. Fifth in his debut after breaking slowly at Gulfstream Park on April 10, Hunters Bay was ready to roll today at Belmont Park in his second start. Away alertly this time, he set fractions of :23.14 and :45.57 while receiving pace pressure from Loquacious, began to open on the field at the top of the stretch, and drew clear under a brisk hand ride to score by 8 ½ lengths. We thought stretching him out would be the key and hoped hed break a little better, said Hunters Bays trainer Todd Pletcher, who conditioned Smokn Frolic during her racing days. He was definitely more professional second time out. He comes from a pedigree that makes it look like hell improve going longer. This is a big step forward, and hopefully he continues to improve. He could have a future. Hunters Bay, the 9-2 fifth choice in the field of six, covered the 1 1/16th-mile distance in a snappy 1:41.08. While Pletcher noted how he thought the track was playing on the quick side, winning Jockey John Velazquez was awed nonetheless. They were cooking out there, said ...
