Sunday's 13-race card at Saratoga Race Course will offer bettors plenty of options, including three separate Pick 4s, two Pick 5s and a Pick 6 wager.
With Saturday's card cancelled due to excessive heat forecast for Saratoga and greater Capital Region, racing will resume on Sunday with a first post of 12:20 p.m. Eastern.
The first Pick 4 sequence will commence with Race 3, a maiden race for 3-year-olds and up, with a 1:30 p.m. post. The second leg will be the Grade 1, $500,000 Coaching Club American Oaks for 3-year-olds fillies, originally scheduled for Saturday but re-carded as Race 4 on Sunday. The 1 1/8-mile Coaching Club American Oaks will not offer show wagering.
Race 5 will feature another maiden race, at 1 1/8 miles on the main track, and the first Pick 4 will conclude with Race 6; a one-mile turf race for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up who have never won two races.
The second Pick 4 will start with Race 5 and will conclude with a maiden race for 2-year-old fillies in Race 7 and a six-furlong maiden race for 2-year-olds going six furlongs on the main track in Race 8.
The final Pick 4 will include two stakes; starting with an allowance optional claimer in Race 10 at 5:43 p.m. and continuing with the $200,000 Caress, also rescheduled from Saturday, as Race 11, a New York-bred allowance in Race 12 and the day's finale with the Grade 3, $200,000 Shuvee for fillies and mares 4-years-old and up in Race 13.
The Early Pick 5 will encompass Races 2-6, with the first leg set for 12:55 p.m. and encompassing the Coaching Club American Oaks as the lone stakes in the sequence.
The Late Pick 5 will start with Race 9 and run through the end of the card, concluding with the Shuvee.
The Pick 6 starts with Race 8 at 4:32 p.m. and continues through the end of the card.
