SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Section 2’s high school football season will look considerably different when practices begin Monday, with five programs moving from 11-man to eight-man football because of participation and safety concerns. The move, combined with Cambridge/Salem’s decision not to field a varsity team, leaves only two 11-man programs in Class D and prompted a major reshuffling of schedules in Classes B, C and D. Hudson Falls/Fort Edward in Class B, Broadalbin-Perth in Class C and Lake George/Warrensburg/Bolton, Stillwater/Saratoga Central Catholic and Rensselaer/Loudonville Christian in Class D will all compete in eight-man football. The five programs will not be […]

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — BANKROLL: $1,250.83 On Saturday, Saratoga honors newly-enshrined Hall of Fame trainer Christophe Clement with a stakes race renamed for him. The 12-furlong Grade 1 turf marathon was previously the Sword Dancer, and to be honest, the new name makes more sense. Clement won this event five times, including twice in a row with Gufo back in 2021 and 2022. Sword Dancer, meanwhile, ran on turf three times, but never won on it. The Man o’War presents a similar conundrum, as the original Big Red never ran on the lawn. Other notable curiosities of this ilk include […]

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. — Repole Stable and Robert and Lawana Low’s Renegade breezed a half-mile in 50.66 seconds, according to NYRA Clockers, on Friday over the Saratoga Race Course main track. Trained by Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher, the Into Mischief bay is working toward the local Grade 1, $1.25 million Travers, a 10-furlong test for sophomores, on August 29. Renegade, completing his first breeze back since rallying from last to first in the Grade 2 Jim Dandy on Aug. 1, worked to the outside of allowance winner Sassmaster. “I thought it was excellent,” Pletcher said. “He was on the […]
