The name of the Hopeful Stakes, which has been a launchpad for multiple Triple Crown winners, speaks for itself.

Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano has won a record seven editions of the Grade 1 Travers, the historic race for 3-year-olds that is one of the signature events of the Saratoga Race Course meet. But at the start of this extended meet, Castellanoâs participation in this yearâs Travers â or much of the meet at all â was far from a certainty. As proceedings kicked off on July 3, Castellano rode three races, winning the first of those with Rumblyoungmanrumbl. But in his third mount of the
