Summertime means bets at Saratoga! (AP Images)

A field of six is set to go off at the $150,000 Amsterdam Stakes at Saratoga on Monday. Much anticipation is focused because it’s the return of early Kentucky Derby favorite Quality Road. He won three of his first four career starts, including the Florida Derby and Fountain of Youth (gr. II), and was the favorite for the Kentucky Derby until he was derailed by a pair of quarter cracks.

Three other graded stakes winners will be in the field to challenge Quality Road. Capt. Candyman Can, Custom for Carlos, and Everyday Heroes will all try to spoil his return on Monday. Capt. Candyman Can has five wins in eight starts and is coming off consecutive victories in the Bay Shore (gr. III) at Aqueduct, and the Matt Winn Stakes at Churchill Downs. Everyday Heroes won his first four races and finished second in his last race.
