Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 16, 2019 Journalists Share Posted August 16, 2019 ANOTHER MIRACLE (c, 2, American Pharoah–Retraceable, by Medaglia d’Oro) took to the turf with aplomb, winning Saratoga’s Skidmore S. in his first try on grass Friday and becoming the second black-type winner for his Triple Crown-winning freshman sire (by Pioneerof the Nile). Battling favored Montauk Daddy (Daddy Long Legs) early, the 5-2 shot was content to sit second as the chalk sped clear, clocking an opening quarter in a sharp :21.82. The bay closed in on Montauk Daddy as the half went up in :44.05 and was forced to go out wide as his betting rival moved out a few paths in mid-stretch. Another Miracle swept past Montauk Daddy in the final sixteenth and charged clear to score in 1:01.61. Proven Strategies (Sky Mesa), co-owned by Len Green, nipped Montauk Daddy for second. Co-bred by Len Green’s DJ Stables, the Greens bought out their partners for $210,000 at Keeneland September. Second to recent GII Saratoga Special winner Green Light Go (Hard Spun) on debut at Belmont July 4, he returned 20 days later to wire an off-the-turf affair at the Spa. Lifetime Record: 3-2-1-0.
