Horses and jockeys will head to Saratoga this weekend for the final triple crown race of the season. This race includes a much smaller field of only nine horses, a major step back from the 20 horses who competed at the season’s earlier races. 

After skipping the Preakness Stakes, all eyes are on Golden Tempo, who had a magical underdog run to win the Kentucky Derby. This also made Cherie DeVaux the first woman to train a Kentucky Derby winner. Golden Tempo will not be challenged by the Preakness winner, Napoleon Solo. 

Instead, the favorite entering this race is Renegade, who finished runner-up to Golden Tempo in the Kentucky Derby.
