Aug. 14 (UPI) -- Woodbine takes center stage in weekend racing with a six-stakes Saturday program that includes some foreign interest and some potential contenders for October's Breeders' Cup World Championships.
Saratoga hosts the weekend's Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In" event-- the Christophe Clement Turf Stakes. And trainer Wesley Ward has two horses making their returns from visits to Royal Ascot.
Speaking of the international front, Bow Echo's march to emulate Frankel has come up short. The connections of the 3-year-old Night of Thunder colt announced Tuesday that an injury on the gallops has forced him to an early retirement.
He goes to his second career undefeated after six starts, including the 2,000 Guineas, the St James's Palace and the Sussex Stakes. The last to land all three of those Group 1 events in the same year? Frankel.
