June 13, 2022,Saratoga Springs, NY – Infinite Symbol A (Indomitable Saab) posted the biggest upset win in an Open this season at Saratoga Casino Hotel on Monday (June 13) afternoon when the Amanda Kelly-trained distaffer scored in the Fillies and Mares Open.
The 8-year-old Aussie invader made her Spa debut earlier this year and although she has enjoyed some success at the lower levels had never competed in an Open before.

Just six weeks removed from competing in the lowest classification at the track, Infinite Symbol A scored a win in the Open after powering past the pacesetter to prevail in 1:54.1 on Monday. Birch Island Betty finished second while the favorite Chasethecloudsaway (Luke Hanners) had to settle for third.
Infinite Symbol A paid $51 to win in the upset and led an exacta and triple that returned a hefty $352 and $1,048, respectively.
The winner is owned by the Scheigert&Alliesracing stable of Saratoga Springs who secured a double on the card when their young pacer NY Hardcore (American Ideal) broke her maiden in an $8,700 race for 3-year-old fillies. Fluet piloted both halves of the double for the Scheigert&Allies stable and their trainer Amanda Kelley.
Live racing resumes on Friday (June 17) evening at Saratoga with a first post time set for 5 p.m.
