Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 10, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 10, 2019 GREEN LIGHT GO (c, 2, Hard Spun–Light Green, by Pleasantly Perfect), backed down to 3-2 favoritism off a 3 1/4-length debut score downstate July 4 that earned him a field’s best 84 Beyer Speed Figure, proved best of a promising group in Saturday’s GII Saratoga Special S. as he drew off emphatically by some five lengths. Racing without Lasix, the Stronach homebred was away second last and moved up to sit in fifth early as a hot pace developed. Saving all the ground tucked just behind the speed through :21.71 and :44.16 splits, he swung out heading for home and wore down pacesetter Tuggle (Point of Entry) before being geared down late and stopping the clock in 1:15.68. Second choice Noose (More Than Ready) rallied from far back to take place honors from Tuggle. Green Light Go had been further flattered when the runner-up from his unveiling, Another Miracle (American Pharoah), came back to score here July 24. He prepped for this with a pair of bullets at the Spa, including a :46 1/5 (1/26) move over the main track Aug. 6. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0. O-Stronach Stable. B-Adena Springs (Ky). T-James A Jerkens. The post Hard Spun Colt Impresses in Saratoga Special appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
