SARATOGA SPRINGS —Cardona’s Market unveiled a fundraiser in celebration of retired jockey and Saratoga Live TV personality Richard Migliore who frequented the Winner’s Circle throughout his career spanning nearly three decades. Migliore, known to fans as “The Mig,” was on hand Friday morning for the ceremonial first bite at Cardona’s Saratoga Market.

The event took place on the eve of the 39th running of the Grade 1, $500,000 Fourstardave Handicap at Saratoga Race Course, a race named in honor of the fan-favorite thoroughbred with whom Migliore is most often associated.

Cardona’s will donate a total of $2,500, or $1,250 each, to the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund (PDJF) and Thoroughbred Retirement Fund (TRF) from the sale of the celebrity sandwich now through Labor Day.

“I feel especially honored to have a Cardona’s sub named after me,” said Migliore. “I am a huge fan of Cardona’s and I always look forward to enjoying their incredible menu anytime I’m in the Capital District. I want to thank Cardona’s for making this sandwich double as a fundraiser for two charities that mean the world to me.”

Migliore’s 29-year racing career boasted 4,450 wins, including 362 stakes and 25 Grade 1 events. He was aboard Fourstardave for the thoroughbred’s final win at Saratoga in 1994.
