6:42 p.m.: Let's hear it for the girls. Devil May Care left no doubt about who is the best sophomore filly on the East Coast, rolling home to a four-length win in the Coaching Club American Oaks under a confident ride from Johnny Velazquez.

Trainer Todd Pletcher says taking on the boys isn't out of the question down the road, but for now, with the lucrative Alabama and other prizes coming up, Devil May Care will stick with her division. It's not like there will be a lack of competition in the Alabama - Kentucky Oaks winner Blind Luck has made that her target as well.

About a half hour later, reigning Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra was a clear winner in the Lady's Secret Stakes at Monmouth. Although her rivals were overmatched on paper and she was expected to win easily, it's good to see an odds-on favorite get the job done with nothing appearing to be amiss. Watching from the press box upstairs at Saratoga, we all got a kick out of hearing fans applauding below us in the stands as they watched the race on simulcast. Rachel will return to her barn at the Oklahoma Training Track shortly and hopefully we'll see her at the end of the meet.

3:53 p.m.: A good day for the home team today. Trainer Teresa Pompay, who grew up in Saratoga, won the fourth race with Compliance Officer. And Joe and Anne McMahon, founders of McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds, co-own Lindsay's Point, winner of the fifth race.

2:54 p.m: Even the small races have plenty of star power here. Keep Me Informed, a daughter of AP Indy and the multiple graded winner Awesome Humor (2002 Adirondack and Spinaway), streaked home to break his maiden in the third race today. The winning team was WinStar Farm and trainer Bill Mott - who of course took the Belmont together with Drosselmeyer.

1:44 p.m.: The new toteboard, which drew a lot of criticism yesterday, was reprogrammed overnight by NYRA and is much easier to read today. Some of the minutia (will-pays, etc) still seem too small, but the size of the current odds, minutes to post, and other important details has been enlarged, making it much more user-friendly.

Comment overheard earlier: "Ray Charles could read that now!"

After it was out thanks to the weather yesterday, the video board near the finish line is in full operation today. However, the one up near the top of the stretch is dark. Wonder what's up with that.

Mineswept (Phil Serpe-Alan Garcia) and Never Right Joey (the dangerous team of Todd Pletcher-Johnny Velazquez) are the first two winners today.

12:28 p.m.: If you didn't drown on Opening Day, welcome back to Saratoga for the first Saturday of the meet and our first Grade I of the season - the Coaching Club American Oaks, set to go off about five hours from now.

We had a little scare with the weather a little while ago, as the skies were gray and a pretty steady drizzle started to fall. But that's cleared up and the sun is even trying to peek through. Hopefully the storms that were forecast for later tonight will indeed hold off. The track is listed as muddy; the turf is yielding, and races 1 and 3 have been taken off.

The big issue today will be the humidity; it's already pretty sticky. Due to the heat, racing has been canceled at Delaware and Philadelphia. There are also concerns about the heat at Monmouth Park, where reigning Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra is set to run at about 6 p.m.

Stay tuned, we'll keep you posted....enjoy the day.
