1st-Saratoga, $100,000, Msw, 7-19, 2yo, 5 1/2fT, 1:02.41, fm, 2 1/4 lengths.
GOVERNOR SAM (c, 2, Improbable–I'm Betty G {MSW & MGSP, $353,100}, by Into Mischief) ran sixth in the same race which yielded eventual Listed Windsor Castle Stakes runner-up Gabaldon (Gone Astray) via a gate to wire trip–the Royal Palm Juvenile Stakes May 11–and took a page from that runner's notes here with a frontrunning score on Friday. Putting up fractions of :21.99 and :45.14 early in this second jump as the 3-5 favorite, Governor Sam rebroke when they hit midstretch and quickly put open air on his rivals. Longshot Test Score (Lookin At Lucky) tried to close the distance but was beaten 2 1/4 lengths on the line at 15-1 odds. Governor Sam is his late sire (by City Zip)'s second winner. A half-brother to GIII Regret Stakes victress Pin Up Betty (Constitution), $349,365, the winner is the most recent to the races for his dam, who has a City of Light yearling filly. Her 2024 Jackie's Warrior foal died. Sales history: $50,000 Ylg '23 FTKOCT; $275,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $57,850.
