The Grade 1 Foxwoods King’s Bishop Stakes will be raced by ten three-year-old contestants over seven furlongs at Saratoga on Saturday, 25th August. The winner is promised the prize money of £193,548. The race has pulled together entries who are
versatile and talented in their own way and for some it is the first time that they will race at the graded level.
The three-year-old, 11 to 4 entry has been active lately in winning and getting placed in graded events. High Cotton’s three-year-old colt was among those few fortunate who get to race in graded company right after breaking their maiden. He landed the maiden

seconds to conclude the race he set Trinniberg as the runner-up.
His quest for the hat-trick failed as he finished second in the first allowance race that came his was on 16th March, 2012 at Gulfstream Park over a mile. The race was won by, Gemologist.
