Flintshire holds class edge in Sword Dancer

Last updated: 8/26/15 6:27 PM


Leading European star Flintshire (Dansili) should find his preferred firm
ground when he faces seven others in the $1 million
Sword
Dancer (G1)
at Saratoga on Saturday. The two-time Group 1 winner, who has
placed at the highest-level in England, France, Dubai, and the U.S., figures
hard to beat in the 1 1/2-mile grass fixture.

Later on Saturday’s card, Grade 1 winner Tepin (Bernstein) looks to rebound
from a photo-finish loss in the Diana (G1) in the $400,000
Ballston
Spa
over 1 1/16 miles on the turf. The Mark Casse-trained filly faces eight
others, including 2013 Just a Game (G1) winner Coffee Clique (Medaglia d’Oro).
