When the rains came in New York last weekend, the connections of leading sprinter A.P.

Stop me if you've heard this storyline before: A modestly bred horse with the word “Chrome” in his name stringing together an impressive winning streak heading into the Breeders' Cup.

A good-looking crew of seven 2-year-old males will face off in the GI Hopeful S. on Saratoga's closing day card, including an already validated 'TDN Rising Star', two other stakes winners and a promising debut victor from the meet's leading trainer.
