Favored Myhartblongstodady Takes Yaddo

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – In the 41st running of the Yaddo at 1 1/16 miles on the inner turf for fillies and mares 3-years-old and up, Lawrence Goichman’s Myhartblongstodady led gate to wire under Jose Lezcano en route to a 1-length score.

Sent to post as the 3/2 mutuel favorite, the homebred daughter of Scat Daddy, out of the Elusive Quality mare Elusive Rumour, set splits of :25.77, :50.25, and 1:15.39 on the good turf before holding off a late charge from Wegetsdamunnys to stop the clock in 1:44.16.

“She broke pretty good and she was very comfortable the whole way,” said Lezcano. “At the 5/16 pole, I let her open up because I knew the other filly would be coming at the end. My filly put in a very good race and improved from the last race to this one.”

The Jorge Abreu-trained Myhartblongstodady returned $5.
