Saratoga
Stakes winners sticking with statebreds
Debra A. Roma She's All Ready wins the Seeking the Ante Stakes by three lengths Friday at Saratoga.
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Sudden Surprise and She’s All Ready were good-looking winners of the Funny Cide and Seeking the Ante stakes, respectively, on Friday. Both horses are now 2 for 2 in New York-bred company.
For now, it appears that both will remain racing against statebreds.
Todd Pletcher said Sudden Surprise, who earned a 79 Beyer Speed Figure for his two-length win in the Funny Cide, will make his next start in the $150,000 Bertram F. Bongard Stakes, a seven-furlong race at Belmont Park on Sept. 27.
Jim Ryerson said She’s All Ready, who earned a 76 Beyer while winning the Seeking the Ante by three lengths, likely will run next in the $150,000 Joseph A. Gimma, a seven-furlong race for 2-year-old fillies the same day.
