British invader Fort George will try to translate his European form to the United States when he leaves the starting gate in the 2026 Bowling Green Stakes on Saturday at Saratoga Race Course in upstate New York. Bred in Great Britain, Fort George has three wins in 12 starts, all overseas. He is coming off a ninth-place finish in the Group 1 Dubai Turf in March. For Saturday he has been installed as the 9-5 morning-line favorite in the Bowling Green Stakes odds. Minaret Station (2-1), Ole Crazy Bone (5-2) and Carson's Run (10-1) round out the top four choices in the seven-horse Bowling Green Stakes field. Post time for the race is 5:39 p.m. ET.
