Graveyard of Champions Saratoga's Fallen Favorites

Why do winners famously lose at the Saratoga Racecourse in Saratoga Springs, NY? A freelance writer for The Backstretch, Thoroughbred Times, and Mid-Atlantic Thoroughbred and the author of many horse-racing books, Heller offers a well-researched history of the races that are held for six weeks each summer at the racecourse, a venue that goes back to Civil War days. This history suggests not one but several reasons why this track is called the "graveyard of champions" (losers here include Man o' War and Secretariat). This race comes in the middle of the racing year; might the favorite.
