Entertainer David Cassidy, who has been a longtime owner and breeder, was the keynote speaker. Ed Bowen, the chairman of the Hall of Fame Committee, said Cassidy as a teen had "a larger fan club than Elvis or the Beatles."
"Whether it's larger than Nick Zito's, I'm not sure," Bowen said.
Cassidy said that wherever he has worked, his contract has always stated he gets a week off from Aug. 7-14, so he can attend Saratoga. Cassidy's love of racing also came through in his humorous remarks.
Addressing his family, Cassidy said, "I'm sorry I gave up the college fund, son, but I understand she's training very well."
