Collared late by Broome in the Dubai Gold Cup (G2) on World Cup night, Godolphin’s Siskany had no such rival to deny him in Friday’s $250,000 Belmont Gold Cup (G2).

With the blinkers back on, and a return to conditions that bring out the best in him, Gufo hit top gear late to retain his crown in Saturday’s Sword Dancer (G1) at Saratoga.

The Bowling Green (G2) started out as a leisurely Sunday stroll for turf veterans, but turned into a mad dash for the wire at Saratoga.

Sunday’s Bowling Green (G2) at Saratoga has attracted a field of six, including Highland Chief, Rockemperor, L'Imperator, Arklow, and Cross Border.

A “nearly” horse throughout his career, Rockemperor is a bridesmaid no more after breaking through at last in Saturday’s Joe Hirsch Turf Classic (G1) at Belmont Park.

Saturday’s $735,000 Sword Dancer (G1) at Saratoga proved that Gufo is a different horse of late.

Awarded the victory via disqualification in last summer’s Bowling Green S. (G2), Cross Border earned his repeat score outright in Saturday’s $250,000 renewal at Saratoga
