Sunlite Hopes to Shine in MTH Oaks

Z Command and Cannolo to Battle Again in The Personal Ensign
Races are not happening when we would normally have expected them at Saratoga. The Personal Ensign, like the Jerkens Memorial, is a race that would have been a part of the Travers undercard. Now, with 2020 being what it is, this race also moves up to the beginning of August.
Several Cut Back in Distance for The Jerkens Memorial
As we move into August, the heart of the Saratoga meet is set to begin, and part of the card on Saturday is the 18th running of the Grade 1 Jerkens Memorial, and that’s different then in past years. Normally, this race has been a part of Travers weekend, so it has been contested at the end of August.
