Channel Cat after winning the Grade 1 Man o War at Belmont Park.
Calumet Farm homebred Channel Cat and his trainer, Jack Sisterson, are no strangers to springing upsets in graded stakes. The duo will look to add another exclamation mark to their collective ledgers in Saturday s Grade 2, $250,000 Bowling Green, an 11-furlong inner-turf test for older horses, at Saratoga Race Course.
Channel Cat, who is one of three sons of English Channel entered for Saturday s 63rd renewal, captured the 2019 Bowling Green at odds of 13-1 for former conditioner Todd Pletcher. The 6-year-old chestnut, who was transferred to Sisterson s care last year, won a dramatic renewal of the Grade 1 Man o War in May at Belmont Park at 8-1 by a nose over Gufo, who was a neck better than Bowling Green-rival Moon Over Miami.

American Ken Pierce, who started reading Summers’ books as a child, said he tired of recommending the novels to friends only to find they were out of print. Though Pierce is not a professional writer, he is on a quest to republish all of Summers’ books electronically – with some additional notes.

It’s the Great American Bash due to reasons of….I’m not sure why we needed a special show this week but that’s what we have here. The card is stacked as you might expect, with a main event of Kyle O’Reilly vs. Adam Cole II. Other than that, the biggest deal is Johnny Gargano and Karrion Kross talking, as I’m a bit surprised the title match isn’t taking place here. Let’s get to it.
The opening video looks at the card, of course featuring comments from Dusty Rhodes.
