Saratoga dirt track has been upgraded to good and harrowed ahead of the Woody Stephens, the race before the Belmont.

Crowd at the Saratoga apron has begun to pick up as we've passed noon. Looked like folks were 4-5 deep down at the rail for the last race, won by Big Blue Line in a photo finish.

The two remaining races that were still scheduled for the turf today, the Jaipur (Race 9) and Manhattan (Race 12) have both been canceled.

Cool story from @MarkSingelais about Albany's Abraham Nova and Schenectady's Jahaye Brown both being on the card tomorrow night when Fenway Park hosts its first boxing card in nearly 70 years. https://t.co/VhKAygNrxr

After a bit of a delay, riders are back on their horses and being loaded back into the gate.

Multiple horses scratched at the last second in the 10th and final race today. Bint al Dandy and Faded Jeans both had issues in the starting gate. Bint al Dandy went down inside the gate, was just helped out by the assistant starters to applause from the remaining crowd.
