Saratoga Snacks - 2012 Alex M. Robb [02:11]
Favored Saratoga Snacks scored his first stakes victory Wednesday at Aqueduct Racetrack, leading every step to beat Socialsaul by a length in the $75000 Alex M. Robb for New York-breds. The 3-year-old son of Tale of the Cat, owned by Bill Parcells' August Dawn Farm, was away quickly under jockey Ramon Dominguez, setting fractions of 24.53 and 49.25 while fending off early pressure from Saginaw on the backside. Challenged again on the far turn, Saratoga Snacks pulled clear approaching the quarter pole and had plenty left to repel the late run from 27-1 Socialsaul. His time for 1 1/16 miles was 1:45.21.
