New York Watch: Micromanage [01:37]
On the final Saturday of the 2011 Saratoga Race Course meet, a 2-year-old colt named Alpha joined the New York Watch after posting a debut score in a seven-furlong maiden special weight, and 51 weeks later he was in Saratoga's winner's circle after dead heating for the win in the Grade 1 Travers. This year, Micromanage, a Todd Pletcher trainee, posted a five-length debut win in a seven-furlong race on the last Saturday of the meet, and his owner, Mike Repole, hopes history will repeat. "If we can duplicate Alpha's career with this horse, I think I'd be pretty content," said Repole, who won the 2011 Travers with Stay Thirsty. In his debut, Micromanage raced in fifth under jockey Javier Castellano in the opening quarter mile, ranged up three wide to offer his bid on the turn, overtook favored Gulfport straightening for home, and steadily widened his advantage in the stretch. Apex overtook Gulfport late for second. Micromanage, one of two first-time starters in the field of eight, completed the race in 1:23.01 and paid $13.60 for a $2 win wager as the 5-1 fourth choice.

Roman Roulette Wins at River Downs [04:01]
ROMAN ROULETTE was away alertly and set the pace while off the rail, responded when asked in the stretch and drew off while drifting out late. OUR TWO stalked the pace while never far back, could not get to and was no match for the winner, was second best. SUNSHINE BOI was unhurried early, improved position in the stretch but was no threat to the top two. ROLLINRETIREDTIRES was void of early speed, passed tiring rivals in the stretch but was no factor. ITS MR. CAT TO YOU was well placed in mid pack, ran evenly with no rally. COME SOON (URU) failed to menace. CHECKSANDBALANCES was no threat. TOKYO showed good early speed chasing the pace, was through after a half mile and dropped back. UNBRIDLED DAVID was no factor.
