SARATOGA SPRINGS — We know how good Essential Quality is.
This weekend at Saratoga Race Course provides an opportunity to see how good some of the other 3-year-old colts are, including several who are on the rise after having started their racing careers on the late side.
That opportunity comes in the form of two nine-furlong races that should serve as steppingstones to the Aug. 28 Travers, Friday’s Curlin and Saturday’s Grade II Jim Dandy, for which the 2-year-old male champion Essential Quality is the 1-2 morning-line favorite.
