Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 11 hours ago Journalists Share Posted 11 hours ago Last year's GIII Iroquois Stakes winner West Saratoga (Exaggerator–Mo Wicked, by Uncle Mo), who also has placed in three black-type events in 2024 and started in the GI Kentucky Derby, has been catalogued to the Inglis Digital USA December Sale. Bidding will take place Wednesday, Dec. 4, beginning at 2 p.m. ET, with subsequent listings closing in three-minute increments. West Saratoga and his trainer, Larry Demeritte, were featured last year on TDNtv. “I've always felt great about this horse–he has all the attributes of a top competitor,” Demeritte told Inglis Digital USA. “He's laid back but gives his all when asked, is straightforward, sound, and never misses a meal. He's beaten some of the best 3-year-olds in the country, including Seize the Grey twice, and I've always geared him toward a strong 4-year-old campaign. “Even after tough races like the Kentucky Derby, he bounced back perfectly, which is why I believe he'll be one of the top 4-year-olds in the country. Unfortunately, due to my health, I have to let him go, but I'm confident he'll bring success and joy to his next connections.” West Saratoga has been nominated to the $20-million G1 Saudi Cup, which will be held Feb. 22. “West Saratoga has plenty of upside going forward, with the potential to compete in some of the world's biggest races,” said Inglis Digital USA CEO Liza Hendriks. “His profile makes him an exciting prospect for any owner looking to make an immediate impact domestically or internationally.” Bred by Two Hearts Farm II LLC and campaigned by Harry L. Veruchi, West Saratoga currently has a record of 13-2-5-1 and earnings of $473,418. In addition to his Iroquois win, the 3-year-old gray has also placed in the GIII Jeff Ruby Steaks, the GIII Sam F. Davis Stakes, and the Pasco Stakes. Entries for the Inglis Digital USA December Sale will remain open through Monday, Nov. 25, with the catalogue released Friday, Nov. 29.
