Racing’s Hottest Filly Is Just Plain Hot Today

If she was an Arabian or a Warmblood, she might live in a barn with AC but no such luck for Belmont winning Thoroughbred filly Rags to Riches. R2R shipped to Saratoga earlier this week after three days of examinations and diagnostic tests at the University of Pennsylvania’s New Bolton Center. She was given a clean bill of health. R2R galloped around Saratoga for her trainer, Todd Pletcher, than exchanged exasperated looks with me. I felt about the same way that she looked. And it would get even hotter as the day wore on.
