According to the race card for Race 8 at Saratoga, Off The Tracks by Curlin is out of Havre de Grace.
I don't know where to find post times for future races listed. I'm checking back periodically at Saratoga. They are about to have Race 7, so I guess Race 8 will be about 45 minutes to an hour from now.

Off the Tracks is actually out of Harve de Grave, not Havre de Grace (the Horse of the Year). I and many other people have been just as confused by that.
The handicappers are picking Kareena in that race. Her sire is Medaglia D'Oro. Uh oh. There's also a Bernardini filly, Lewis Bay. (I hope she is a bay. hahaha)
Post time for Race 8 (The Test) is 5:06 Eastern, Race 7 had a thrilling finish--photo for the first 3. There were about 2 inches between first and third. Wow.
Wow. Race 8 was pretty exciting, too. What an upset. The winner paid 55 to 1. Yoicks. Kareena didn't even make the boards. Off The Tracks at least got 3rd. How can anyone make any money betting on horse races?
I hope Sally got some good pictures. Frosted was pretty impressive. He ought to be a factor in The BC Classic.
In the final race, The De La Rose, the winner, Lady Lara, won nicely, and she is in foal. Impressive. They didn't say who the stud is, but she's Irish, so she probably came here to be bred, so it's a good guess that he is American.

Of the 5 stakes races today at Saratoga, 3 were run on turf- Saratoga has an outer dirt track, then inside of that, a turf course called the Mellon Turf, and then another turf course inside of the Mellon. It's tough to get pics of races on the turf and inner turf. Here's one of the "Test" (grade1 ) for 3 YO fillies, which was the only other stakes race run on the main (dirt) track today.

Frosted's dappling is looking great. Is it my imagination, or do they look like fivr-point stars. Stars for the star.
I thought his coat looked spectacular! I selected his "before" photo above because I thought it showed his dapples off so nicely. I agree, they do look like stars!
I went to see the Lipizzan Stallions on Sunday-since it was in VT, not Saratoga, I posted pics in the Rare & Unfamiliar Horse Breeds! thread if anyone is interested.
Thank you again Sally for the fantastic pics from Saratoga. Frosted is spectacular! Love how he is graying! Have fun at the big party on Friday. I will be watching the big event on my I Pad. :-)
Sally, I meant to ask, where in VT were the Lipizzaner Stallions? I would guess Burlington. I saw them decades ago in Savannah, GA, if memory serves me right. Marvelous creatures.
