SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) Pat Day will saddle With Anticipation on Saturday in the $500,000 Sword Dancer Handicap in a bid to break Chris McCarron's career money record.

Day entered the Saturday card at Saratoga $69,491 short of Chris McCarron's mark of $264,351,679. McCarron retired last month.

A win by With Anticipation would bring $300,000, and a second- place finish would be worth $100,000.

"This record means a great deal to me," Day said. "It tells me how much I have been blessed with health and blessed with talent. I could keep riding into my 50s, but my wife (Sheila Ann) keeps telling me that one day I'll wake up and I'll know when it's time."

The 48-year-old Day also will ride Wagoneer in the second race, Regal and Fleet in the seventh, and Castletown in the eighth.

The 7-year-old With Anticipation has been one of the top turf horses the past few years and won the Sword Dancer last year, one of his five victories in 2001.

The field for the Sword Dancer, with weight assignments, jockeys and odds, is: Denon, 118, Edgar Prado, 5-2; Man From Wicklow, 114, Javier Castellano, 20-1; Volponi, 115, Jose Santos, 10-1; Hawkeye, 118, Jean-Luc Samyn, 5-1; Grammarian, 115, Brice Blanc, 20-1; Eltawaasul, 114, Jorge Chavez , 20-1; Whitmore's Conn, 115, Shaun Bridgmohan, 12-1; Rhythm Band, 114, Richard Migliore, 20-1; Cetewayo, 117, John Velazquez, 6-1; With Anticipation, 120, Day, 3-1; and Startac, 116, Jerry Bailey, 6-1.
