?q=100)
Leave No Trace indicated her intent to be a player in the older filly and mare sprint ranks Saturday, when she darted to a three-quarter-length win over favorite Big Pond in the Grade 3, $175,000 Vagrancy at the Belmont meet at Aqueduct. It was another 2 1/2 lengths back in third to Hot Fudge.
The Vagrancy was a 6 1/2-furlong race for fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up.
Leave No Trace ($19.60) stalked the pace in second Saturday, as Beguine led the field through an opening quarter in 22.24 seconds and a half-mile in 44.72. Leave No Trace moved past the leader in the stretch and went on to cover the distance on a fast track in 1:15.91.
"She did it pretty easily," winning rider Jose Lezcano told the New York Racing Association. "She was pretty comfortable. When I asked her, she ran on and won the race."
