First Grade I of the Saratoga Season:   Besides trainer Charlie Appleby in 2021, no one has been able to dethrone Chad Brown in this Grade I turf event since 2016. The likelihood of another win for Brown appears imminent, were it not for the presence of Fev Rover (Ire) (Gutalfan {Ire}).   Trained by Mark Casse, the 5-year-old mare is a MGSW who is making her first trip down from Woodbine. “She’s coming back a little quick, but I’m going with the old Allen Jerkens line, ‘When they’re going good, run ‘em,’” Casse said.   Out of Brown’s four entries, Peter Brant’s defending champ and ’TDN Rising Star’, In Italian (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) looks best, but Marketsegmentation (American Pharoah), a 4-year-old filly owned by Klaravich Stables, is coming off a signature win June 9 in the GI New York S. at Belmont Park.   Graded stakes action at Saratoga continues this weekend with the GIII Sanford S. and GIII Kelso S. on Saturday and the GIII Quick Call S. on Sunday.
