Saratoga Springs, NY — For the second consecutive week at Saratoga Casino Hotel, Pay Me To Knight reigned supreme by going last to first in the Open Trot.

Doug Maura trains and drives the 5-year-old who is in the midst of a sensational season at the Spa.

Pay Me To Knight got away eighth in the eight-horse Open on Sunday and although the fractions were fast, coming from last appeared to be a daunting task. Maura gave Pay Me To Knight his cue heading to the three-quarter pole and just wheeled him four-wide around the final turn. Picking off his rivals one by one in the stretch, Pay Me To Knight charged past the field to win a photo in a mile clocked in 1:57.2.

Last Sunday (Oct 29), Maura’s rising star was dismissed at odds of 14-1 when he won the Open for the second time this season. This week, Pay Me To Knight paid $18 to win in yet another upset. Yucatan Party Man (Billy Dobson) finished second in the $15,000 feature while By The Book (Jay Randall) earned the show spot.

The exacta and triple returned $91 and $273, respectively.

Pay Me To Knight, who is owned by Louis Maura, now owns three Open wins this season.

Live racing continues on Monday afternoon with a first post time set for noon.
