Expect Great Horse Racing at the King's Bishop Stakes Saturday ...

A lot of attention gets paid to the Travers Stakes and rightfully so. It usually hosts most or all of the premiere three year old thoroughbreds and often features rematches between Triple Crown winners. However, there is another elite race for 3 year old colts and geldings that is held the same day at Saratoga and that is the Grade One King?s Bishop Stakes.

The race, which is run just before the Travers Stakes, has a 250,000 dollar purse and attracts some excellent horses. The race has been run since 1984 and is run over seven furlongs. It is considered the best sprint race for three year olds and has produced some remarkable winners such as the prodigious champion sire Forestry.

This year?s contest promises to be no different and in addition features the return of the much heralded Uncle Mo. Uncle Mo, who was the champion two year old, was a Kentucky Derby favorite this year until he was sidelined just days before the race with a rare liver infection. The King?s Bishop will be his chance for redemption and possibly restart a campaign for Horse of the Year.

Other entrants include some serious speedsters who will be looking for strong finishes to send them on to the Breeders? Cup in November. Potential other winners include Flashpoint, J.J.?s Lucky Train, Caleb?s Posse, and Dominus.

It will be hard to imagine a healthy Uncle Mo losing on Saturday but that assumes he is in top form. If not, then it could be a thrilling finish.
