The Saratoga Spa meeting is one of the most popular in North America.

It and Del Mar provide the focus for the East and West coast racing fraternities, with Del Mar to open next weekend.

The highlight of the Saratoga opening day is the Gr 1 Diana Stakes for f&m over 1800m on the turf course.  Chad Brown is saddling 4 of the 5 runners with his In Italian the favourite on 4/5 and Irad Ortiz in the irons, with his brother Jose riding Marketsegmentation 5/1 also for Brown.
