Sophomore fillies take center stage this Sunday at historic Saratoga Race Course. A field of six will line up with hopes of taking home the second leg of the NYRA Filly Triple Crown, the Coaching Club American Oaks.
The Coaching Club American Oaks is one of the premiere races for 3-year-old fillies in the nation. The 1 1/8 mile race was named after the Coaching Club of America, whose membership requirement included the ability to handle a coach and four horses with a single group of reins. Great fillies such as Ruffian, Top Flight, Davona Dale, and My Flag have won the race in the past.
The race will be televised live on FOX Sports 1 as part of The Jockey Club Tour on FOX along with the Eddie Read Stakes at Del Mar.
