Summers Windsong trotted to a career best 1:57.3 score.

On an afternoon that felt more like summer than fall, Summers Windsong cruised to a wire-to-wire win in the $10,500 feature for New York sired trotters.

Phil Fluet catch drove the 3-year-old for trainer Ray Schnittker and moved the favored filly out to the early lead. On a day in which temperatures approached the 70 degree mark in Saratoga Springs, Summers Windsong never had an anxious moment en route to a career best 1:57.3 score.

It was the third win of the season for the filly who recently returned from a stint at Plainridge, racing in Massachusetts stakes competition.

Fluet prevailed in both of his drives on Thursday as his Eternal Prince scored in wire-to-wire fashion on the afternoon card.

Live racing continues on Friday night at Saratoga with first post time set for 6:45 p.m.
