Saratoga, NY — Crazy About Pat (Crazed) moved his record to five-for-five this season at Saratoga Casino and Raceway behind a front-running score in Sunday’s (Oct. 5) Open Trot.

Trainer Paul Kelley, who also had the winner of Saturday’s Open Pace, Bet On Roulette, has thrived with Crazy About Pat since acquiring him this summer.

A closer in most of his wins this season, the 4-year-old trotter moved to the early lead for driver Shawn Gray in Sunday’s $17,000 co-feature. Met with the challenge of the race favorite Zooming (Billy Dobson) in the stretch, Crazy About Pat dug in and scored a seasonal best win in 1:55.2. Returning $7.20 to win, Crazy About Pat led an exacta with the favorite Zooming that returned $19.40.

Let’s Go Higher (Billy Dobson) prevailed in the co-featured Fillies and Mares Open on Sunday afternoon with a last to first win clocked in 1:54.

Live racing resumes on Thursday night with first post time set for 6:45pm.
