Winning Ponies

In June of 2016, Claiborne Farm has removed horses from the care of Al Stall, Jr., and distributed them to various trainers. Multiple graded stakes winner Departing, was transferred to the barn of Tom Drury. In his first start for Drury, Departing stormed home a two-length winner of the $100,000 Michael G. Schaefer Memorial Stakes on the Indiana Derby under-card. Tom will tell how it felt to win that race with Departing for Claiborne Farms and give us an insight into his operation. With Saratoga opening it's doors on Friday, Tom Law who teams up with the Clancy Brothers to publish the Saratoga Special, will join John Engelhardt in handicapping the opening day stake the $150,000 Schulerville (G3) for 2-year-old, a historic race that has launched the career of many outstanding fillies. The $150,000 Sanford Stakes (G3) on Saturday carries as much significance in racing with winners such as Upset that defeated Man o' War in 1919. Also on Saturday the $500,000 Diana Stakes (G1).
