Good Bye Greg on track for Saratoga

The 3-year-old Good Bye Greg, a sharp winner in each of his first two starts at Arlington and Woodbine, remains on track to race at the Saratoga meet after breezing a half-mile in a bullet 47 seconds Wednesday.

“He worked awesome,” said trainer Larry Rivelli. “It was like a maintenance work, and the horse, he just drug the kid around there, galloped out in about a minute.”

Good Bye Greg, by Teuflesberg, has only raced on Polytrack so far. Rivelli was considering the Amsterdam on dirt but now is leaning toward the Quick Call, a turf sprint July 24.

** Sunday’s featured third race, a second-level Polytrack sprint allowance also open to $40,000 claimers, is a good one. Big Legacy improved magically after being claimed for just $5,000 in April by trainer Ingrid Mason, and he might well be favored off a blowout last-race victory over the Arlington main track. But there’s plenty of early speed in the race, and the stretch-running Sancerre might have a chance to pick off tiring rivals at a playable price.
