The best for you | Sarah Andrews
Mike Ryan’s Be your best (Ire) (Muharaar {GB} –Kamakura, by Medaglia d’Oro) debuted on Sunday in Saratoga to attract ‘Rising star TDN’ nickname. Losing 8-1 to a group of competitive-looking teenagers, student Horacio De Paz soon caught on and hung a little too wide on the first turn. She moved well in the back, and caught the eye when she made a wide three-way move around the home court, creating a long split six at 1:14.29. Still breaking strong in the early part of the pitch in the upper stretch, she broke out with big strides in this stretch to extend her advantage to 3 1/4 lengths and stop the clock at 1:43, 97. Long shot Callie’s Grit (Music by Maclean) prevents the first time being favored by Chad Brown Free look (Tapit) for the second.
