A huge weekend of racing for the stable is capped by the return to action of one of this season's rising stars, Think Big (pictured above), in the $750,000 G1 FanDuel Fourstardave Stakes at Saratoga tomorrow.


Godolphin's son of Twirling Candy made waves on the turf sprint scene earlier in the year, winning a couple highly valuable G2 events at Keeneland and Churchill Downs.


However, a step up in trip to a mile in the G3 Kelso Stakes at Saratoga last month proved well within his compass. He stormed home late (in now customary fashion) to win that race quite comfortably in the end.


In tomorrow's G1 mile event on the turf, Think Big is drawn 4 of 10 with Luis Saez on board. He's a 6-1 shot on the Morning Line to make his career breakthrough in the highest echelons of the sport.


Over at Colonial Downs tomorrow, Cool Customer is drawn 6 of 7 in the $100,000 Hickory Tree Stakes, a 5 1/2 furlong sprint for 2-year-olds.


This lovely son of Frosted has only had the one run so far, finishing third at Colonial Downs last month. But he's learned a ton from that experience, and with Antonio Gallardo on board, he's a 5-2 shot to break his maiden against a quality field of juveniles.


On Sunday at Monmouth Park, Righthere Rightnow is drawn 8 of 11 in a valuable $50,000 Starter Handicap over 1 and 1/8th miles on the turf, Jeiron Barbosa on board.


This four-year-old son of Not This Times has already been on the scoresheet this season, winning at the track in June, and is a 12-1 shot on the Morning Line to add to his tally again this weekend.


Earlier on the card, Song of Norway is on the also eligible list in the $100,000 Incredible Revenge Stakes, a turf sprint, with Jeiron Barbosa up.
