On a day where early speed did really well, this mare had little chance after a slow start where she was at the back of the pack early. She also didn’t seem to enjoy the kick back up the backstretch. The mare made a run around the turn, but flattened out late in a race […]

Set the pace in his last start, but was allowed to track the leaders in this spot. He likely gained a lot of experience points as he was firmly held by the jock for the first three furlongs while seemingly full of run. Entering the stretch, he still had to wait for clear sailing, but […]
A mare who was making her third start off the layoff showed unexpected early speed and was part of a four horse duel up the backstretch. She appeared to be tiring once headed around the far turn while racing on the rail, but she gamely fought back only to be run down by perfect-tripper Carly […]
Runs with his tail straight out and was outrun for the early lead in the first furlong. The veteran didn’t seem comfortable racing behind a wall of horses and that seemed evident as he was shuffled to the back of the pack entering the turn. He did seem to have run entering the stretch, but […]
Is usually a deep closer, but may have been more forwardly-placed due to today’s sloppy conditions. He held his own, though, as he had to steady slightly while trying to make his rally entering the stretch and that likely cost him all of his momentum.

Was asked a tough question in her first start as a winner going from NY-bred $25,000 Maiden-Claimer to NY-bred NW1 Allowance, but didn’t run badly at all.

By Jarrod Horak I did not have wagering success in the four stakes races at Saratoga on Saturday, Sept. 2, but I was pleased as a racing fan with one outcome in particular. The one performance that really stood out was Thin White Duke’s rallying win in the Harvey Pack Stakes. You cannot help but […]
