Tale of S’avall works toward Champagne

ELMONT, N.Y. – One horse who definitely is targeting the Champagne Stakes is Tale of S’avall, a debut winner at Saratoga who worked five furlongs in 1:00.12 over the main track Monday.

“He’s a nice horse,” trainer Barclay Tagg said. “He’s the best I got right now.”

Tale of S’avall, a son of Tale of Ekati owned and bred by Charles Fipke, won his debut by two lengths at Saratoga on Travers Day, earning a Beyer Speed Figure of 81.
