New York Watch: Crazy Party [02:03]
Last year's 2-year-old turf races at Saratoga Race Course were incredibly productive, with graded stakes winners Excited, JB's Thunder, More Than Real, Silver Medallion, and Winter Memories all having made winning debuts on the grass at the Spa. Crazy Party, who dashed clear to victory yesterday at Saratoga, will now attempt to follow in their footsteps. Crazy Party joins the New York Watch, which profiles promising maiden winners at Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park, and Saratoga Race Course and featured JB's Thunder, More Than Real, and Winter Memories following their wins at the Spa last year. Always prominent, Crazy Party raced behind cover in third through fractions of 48.90 and 1:13.61, angled outside at the top of the stretch, and burst past the front runners to register a two-length victory over Regalo Mia. Crazy Party, who completed 1 1/16 miles on the turf in 1:43.09, ran the final sixteenth of a mile in a quick 5.58 seconds and returned $7.90 as the 5-2 second choice.

Curlinello maiden debut 8-21-10 [03:36]
Curlinello won over the speed favoring Saratoga track on August 21, going 7F in 1:24.53. He's a full brother to Arlington Classic winner Pleasant Strike, but has a strong dirt pedigree, especially for the mud. This is a colt with the pedigree to enjoy two turns and the clout of a distaff family to make him a serious horse to watch.
