Racy Roxy A prevails in Saratoga Open

Saratoga Springs, NY — Racy Roxy A (Mr Feelgood) won the Saratoga Casino Hotel Open for the first time on Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 13). Trainer Rob Harmon had a double on the card led by Racy Roxy A who was a wrapped-up winner at the wire.

The even-money betting favorite in the $15,000 Fillies and Mares Open, Racy Roxy A cruised out to the early lead and remained untested through a first half in :57.3. Driver Jay Randall asked the favorite for more heading towards the three-quarter pole and Racy Roxy A paced away from her rivals to build an insurmountable lead before reporting home a measured winner of a length in a mile clocked in a career-best 1:54.4.

Probert (Brett Beckwith), last week’s Open winner, came up second-best on Tuesday while Magical Maya A (Larry Stalbaum), the runner-up in the season’s first feature for mares, closed to finish third.

Racy Roxy A is owned by Mike Casalino Jr. and paid $4.20 to win. She was not only one of two winners on the card for Harmon, but one of three for Randall. That tandem also combined for a victory with young pacing mare Two Star Magic who set a lifetime mark in prevailing for the second consecutive week.

Live racing resumes on Saturday evening with a first post time set for 5 p.m.
