At 12h48, on August 31, 2023 • By SARATOGA

Godolphin’s Grade 1 winner Proxy will make his Empire State debut in Saturday’s 105th running of the Grade 1, $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup going 10 furlongs for 3-year-olds and upward at Saratoga Race Course.

The Jockey Club Gold Cup is a “Win And You’re In” qualifier, offering an automatic entry into the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Classic on November 4 at Santa Anita.

Proxy, a son of Tapit, is a six-time winner over four different ovals and enters from a victory in the Grade 3 Monmouth Cup on July 22 going nine furlongs, where he led from start-to-finish.
