Echo Zulu Adds Honorable Miss To Stakes Resume

[Wandering Eyes]

Getting down to business early, the champion 2-year-old filly from 2021 and 'TDN Rising Star', Echo Zulu (Gun Runner–Letgomyecho, by Menifee), added her second graded stakes victory of her 4-year-old campaign with a geared down win in the GII Honorable Miss H. on Wednesday afternoon at Saratoga Race Course.

Breaking from the inside post position, the 2-5 favorite established her lead up the backstretch, fended off a brief charge around the far turn from rival Frank's Rockette (Into Mischief) and strode down the lane to an eight-length victory over Dr B (Liam's Map) who was second.
