Saratoga Springs, NY- Bonamassa (Muscle Mass) continued her strong start to the meet on Wednesday (March 20) at Saratoga Casino Hotel when the Maureen Salino-trainee recorded her third win of the season in five starts.

Bonamassa wound up sitting the two-hole and parlayed her pocket ride to victory in career-best fashion. Brett Crawford has been the regular pilot this year for Bonamassa who again surged in the stretch on Wednesday before stopping the timer in 1:57.3 to continue the strong start to her 2019 campaign.

Proving to be versatile this season, Bonamassa has thrived while racing up close and from off the pace in her handful of tries during her 4-year-old season.

Live racing continues on Thursday afternoon (March 21) at Saratoga with a noon post time. There is a $5,000 guarantee in the Pick-5 pool starting in race one. Race five has a $25,000 guarantee in its triple pool.
