Lost My Sock [No.1, $104.50], sent to post at odds of 51-1 under Raul Mena for trainer Derek Ryan, wore down Glitter Up in deep stretch to win Race 6, a six-furlong outer turf sprint for maiden juvenile fillies.
The streak of longshots continued in Race 7, a six-furlong optional-claiming sprint for state-bred 3-year-olds and up, with Saratoga Pal [No. 4, $40.40]rallying wide down the lane to win at odds of 19-1 as the longest shot in the seven-horse field. Eric Cancel guided the winner for Chris Englehart.
Crea’s Bklyn Law [No. 8, $8.10] rallied down the center of the track to capture Race 8 with Kendrick Carmouche up for Michael Miceli in the 6 1/2-furlong sprint for 3-year-olds and up on the main track.
Off at odds of 4-1, Summer to Remember [No. 2, $12.20] took charge into the final turn and staved off a late charge from Smile Bryan to win Race 9, a 1 1/16-mile inner turf claiming tilt for 3-year-olds and up. Ortiz engineered the score for trainer Rudy Rodriguez.
With the carryover already confirmed, the Christophe Clement-conditioned She’s the One [No. 3, $3.30] prevailed as the odds-on choice under Irad Ortiz, Jr. in Race 10, a six-furlong outer turf sprint for New York-bred fillies and mares 3-years-old and up.
