Another New York Sire Stakes card was written in the books on Sunday afternoon (July 9) at Saratoga Casino Hotel and Senorita Palema topped the card for the two-year-old fillies.
Six trotters made up the $17,000 Winners Over/Open Handicap Trot on Sunday afternoon (June 18) at Saratoga Casino Hotel and Angel Nation came out on top.
Knight Angel survived a wide journey to take the $10,700 featured trot at Saratoga Casino Hotel on Monday (April 26).
Knight Angel drew post four and went off at 4-1 while tasked with taking on the red-hot Lazzaro, who went as the 1-5 favourite. Longshot leader JNR Express was carving the fractions on the lead and Knight Angel again moved early, resulting in him being two-wide for the majority of the mile. He tucked in behind JNR Express briefly as they trotted towards three-quarters, but was back out for the drive and beat Lazzaro to the punch. Knight Angel cruised by JNR Express to take the lead but the favorite had open road and had every chance to go by in the lane. The chase was futile and Knight Angel stopped the timer in 1:57.2 to complete back-to-back jacks.
