Saratoga video: Visit with trainers Mark Casse and Kenny McPeek
Join Andrew Capone on the Saratoga backstretch this morning, as he caught up with Mark Casse and Kenny McPeek. They both talked about horses entered in major races at the Spa on Saturday.
Trainer Mark Casse talks to us about his pair of runners in the Kelso (G3), as well as his mare stepping up to top-level company in the Diana (G1).
Casse discussed the challenges of finding a spot for Ice Chocolat and what may come in starts after the Kelso. Casse also touched on well as how pace or turf conditions may affect the speedy Filo di Arianna. He also talked about Fev Rover, and why he signed her on for a showdown against four Chad Brown trainees including divisional leader In Italian in the Diana.
Kenny McPeek trains Call the Cavalry, a debut maiden special weight winner at Belmont who steps up for the Sanford (G1)
McPeek shined a light on Call the Cavalry's training since his win last month and pointed out what the 2-year-old son of Khozan needs to do in order to be a contender Saturday afternoon. He also reflected on what it means to come from Kentucky to Saratoga for the summer.
