News & notes

 Saratoga Race Course is back up & running for Day 3 of the Belmont Racing Festival after Friday's card was cut short due to a power outage.

The Belmont Stakes itself will air on WXXA tonight, with post time approximately 6:41 pm. OTB-TV (Spectrum channel 1250) will also carry the race.

=======================================

The Tri-City Valleycats have become one of the hottest teams in the Frontier League after rallying to beat the NY Boulders on Friday night. Tri-City has won 4 straight and 6 of their last 7. Ex-Valleycat Chris Kwitzer, in his 3rd season with the Boulders, and a 'Cat killer each of the last two years, was held in check going 0-4 with an RBI.

Game 2 is tonight at 6:30 at Bruno Stadium.
