Surreal Feeling has been nothing shy of surreal again this year and on Wednesday afternoon (June 30), the superstar mare added another win to her tally at Saratoga Casino Hotel. The 6-year-old mare, who has been a winning machine over the course of her career, prevailed for the 29th time in just 79 starts when she went coast-to-coast in the $14,000 Fillies and Mares Open. Surreal Feeling won from off the pace in her previous local try, but this week driver Alek Chartrand didn’t waste any time getting the speedy stalwart to the front.

After pacing the half in :56 and with Robyn Camden looming large and closing in, Surreal Feeling just continued to roll with Alek Chartrand in the sulky. The Lawton trainee proved up to the task, and not only prevailed in the feature but actually drew away to win it by better than five lengths. ....

To win a horse race is difficult. You need so many things to go well. The horse needs to be talented and sound. You most likely need a good post position but regardless of post draw, race luck is a must. The trainer needs to do his job, the driver needs to do his. So many things need to go just right to win a race. - Advertisement - Now, consider you have a top-flight horse racing at an Open level. To beat the best is difficult. To do so twice in a row is unlikely but to score three consecutive victories in Opens is extremely rare. In fact, at Saratoga Casino Hotel no horse won three straight Opens in the entire 2020 campaign. Now granted, the season was a bit of an abbreviated one due to the pandemic but still there were plenty of Opens contested at the Spa. ....
