Trainer Jackie Greene continued her recent hot streak on Saturday afternoon (March 28) at Saratoga Casino Hotel.
The former leading trainer at the track, Greene always features horses in the top classes at the Spa and unveiled a new member of her stable in Saturday’s Open Pace. Aussie invader Mydadsaid A made his U.S. debut in the $16,500 feature and had Jacob Cutting at the controls.
Mydadsaid A took back in the early going in a race that saw a fast first quarter go in :27.3 with Warrior For Truth (Kyle Swift) cutting the mile.
Cutting got a cover trip for Mydadsaid A, who followed a parked-out rival before tipping three-wide past three quarters in 1:26.2.
While the leader held firm turning for home, Mydadsaid A kept plugging away before eventually taking over midway through the stretch and surging home in 1:54 to complete the win in his local debut. Warrior For Truth finished a strong second while longshot Handlelikeaporsche (Aaron Byron) came on to be third.
Mydadsaid A was one of two winners for the Greene stable on Saturday as her former award-winner Ahi Sunshine registered his first victory of the season with reinsman Jimmy Devaux at the helm in what was Greene’s third win in the Open Pace in 2026.
Her Frisco Bay N recorded a pair of scores in the pacing feature earlier on in the meet. Cutting piloted three winners on the Saturday card.
Live racing continues on Sunday (March 29) at Saratoga with a first post time of noon.
