Sunday 1, a million dollars from a million dollars in Saratoga gathers the star, with the “bonds in” berths in line. The test of the ruling classical winners of Sierra Leone, but several rivals appear capable of spoiling fun.

# 3 Sierra Leone (8/5)

The ruling champion of 3-year color returned to formation with A strong late rally in WhitneyEarning 109 beiers and reminds of the fans why he captured last year’s classic breeder. Known for its deep closing style, will once again look to free it under Flavien Prat. By winning, Sierra Leone can strengthen his place as a division leader in November.

“He’s rounded into shape and I think we have it right where it was last year at the end of the year,” said Coach Chad Brown. “I didn’t think he was going to run enough, so another beginning will do good. It seems to love a mile and a quarter.”

# 4 Mindframe (2/1)

The Todd Plicher’s Colt was to scratch Whitney for this place, but he was already the owner of the crucial victory over Sierra Leone in Stephen Foster. Versatically versatile to start close or come from tempo, consistency of thinking at the highest level, makes it a great threat. IRAD ORTIZ JR. Retains the carrier, and extra free removes can give him the edge in the endurance for miles and quarter travel.

“I think his resume is terribly strong,” said Todd Pletcher coach. “He runs some of the best horses, not only short, but long. It seems capable of working only about anything.”

# 5 White Abarry (8/1)

Former breeders Classic champion did not look best in the recent beginnings, but the coach of Saffie Joseph Jr. Insists on a 6-year-old training like his old self. Multiple winner of 1. Grade with tactical speed and Miss, Beli Abrario has a class to bounce back, and its ceiling remains as high as everyone in the field.

“I love him at the moment. He gave us confidence that way and I hope that it continues to continue to see white aberrio, which is so good when he said,” Saffie Joseph said. “I feel like good, if not better, as I went when we entered Pegasus. The conversation is cheap, but I feel like that now is what you want to see and hope you want to see it.”

# 2 Highland Falls (5/1)

Last year’s gold winner in gold almost stole Whitney, leading in the middle before Sierra Leone has grown. He trains Brad Cox, Godolfinski runner still improves and possesses stamina and tactical speed – key weapons at this distance. He could easily convert tables a similar journey.

“I think this year is a better horse than the coach of Brad Cok,” he was lasting to the back of the pace. He showed a lot at the tempo. He showed a lot. He showed a lot at the tempo.

Others to watch

• The opposite of thinking: Probable tempographic factor and pets domestic for Sierra Leone.
• Antiquarian: He just missed in the suburban suburban and could go forward.
• Flow: Comes in Sharp off, you were in Charles Town.
• FILEAS FOGG: Improving Colt with a recent congruge victory.
• Disarm: Reliable and tested battle for Steve Askussen.

Judgment

This year’s Jockey Club Gold Cup shapes as one of the deepest renewable recovery in recent memory. Sierra Leone is the one that will win, but the diversity of MenFarm, proven the ability of white Aparrio, and the consistency of Highland Falls’, ensure that he faces a serious test.
