Saratoga Springs, NY – Blazing Home N put the swoop to the group in the Saturday (Feb. 14) feature at Saratoga Casino Hotel.
Larry Stalbaum owns and trains the 7-year-old, who won the Open Pace last week while surging home to score in 1:54.4.
In Saturday’s installment of the $16,500 feature, Stalbaum piloted Blazing Home N and was content to get away last in the seven-horse Open that saw He’zzz A Wise Sky set first-half fractions of :27.1 and :56.1. Blazing Home N, the 7-5 favorite, methodically moved up in the third quarter, and after the leader began to tire, made his move. He proved to be true to his name, closing sharply in the stretch before coming on to win in 1:54.1.
Vanderbilt N (Ron Cushing) sat the pocket behind the tiring leader before shaking free late to come on to be second while Rebellious (Chris Long) closed to finish third.
Blazing Home N, a six-figure earner in 2025, has already recorded four wins this season after registering a pair of victories in the Northfield Open in January and following those scores up with back-to-back jacks in the local Open.
Live racing continues on Sunday at Saratoga with a matinee that starts at noon.
