In a battle between three Grade 1-winning male sprinters from last year, Book'em Danno got the better of Mullikin to take the $400,000 True North (G3) at Saratoga on Saturday.

Saratoga has been the scene of some of the best moments in the racing careers of Fierceness and White Abarrio, who highlight a small but very select field in the $1 million Metropolitan H. (G1) on Saturday.

Straight No Chaser raced prominently from the start and courageously reeled in Bentornato late in Saturday’s $1,840,000 Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) at Del Mar.

Sloppy conditions at Ellis Park proved just right for a pair of hot favorites with speed on the rail – the 2.40-1 Ryvit in the Maxfield Overnight S. and the 0.81-1 Zozos in the Hanshin S.
