Six debut winners meet in Adirondack Stakes

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Six 2-year-old fillies who all won their only start were entered Wednesday for Saturday’s Grade 2, $200,000 Adirondack Stakes at Saratoga.

Lyrical Lady, one of five 2-year-old winners sent out at the meet by trainer Steve Asmussen, looks like the probable favorite. Trainer Todd Pletcher entered both Virginia Eloise, who won at Belmont on July 4, and Guacamole, who was placed first when the stewards disqualified Super Simple – also trained by Asmussen – here on July 26.

Mucho Amor, Sue’s Fortune, and Grandma Gertie complete the sextet.

◗ Two-time Triple Crown-winning trainer Bob Baffert, already enshrined in the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, will now be honored as a member of Saratoga’s Walk of Fame.

The Saratoga Walk of Fame honors those who have made significant contributions to Thoroughbred racing and the advancement of Saratoga Race Course. Baffert will be honored at a ceremony held here on Aug. 24. Baffert is expected to be on hand as he is pointing champion Abel Tasman to the Grade 1 Personal Ensign on Aug. 25.
