Johnson for 2-year-old fillies at Saratoga Race Course. Full Card Plays Available Now For The Spa There’s a reason we’re the #1 trusted source for premium racing picks & info. Find Out Why The 17th edition of the P.G. Johnson, moved off the inner turf to the main track and from its original distance of 1 1/16 miles to 7 furlongs, saw Sail By under jockey Junior Alvarado lead the pared-down four-horse field through an opening 1/4-mile in 24.43 seconds and the 1/2 in 47.86 on a track labeled fast.Sail By kept to the inside out of the turn and maintained her slight edge on Let’s Be Clear. Miss Interpret, a Main Track Only entrant who went off as the 3/5 favorite, sat in third position when entering the final 1/8 of a mile. The Street Sense filly, trained by Hall of Famer Todd Pletcher, thrived with a clear path in front, running down Let’s Be Clear to her immediate inside before collaring Sail By in the final 1/16, hitting the wire in 1:24.80.“She takes a little bit of riding,” Ortiz said. “I knew entering the stretch that she would keep me in touch with them and I could beat them turning for home. She can stretch out in distance just fine. I think the longer they go, the better it will be for her.”Miss Interpret, who broke her maiden at third asking last out on July 25 at the Spa, improved to 2-1-0 in 4 starts.“It’s a good win for her,” Pletcher said. “I wasn’t sure (if the race would come off the turf). We had a bunch of rain yesterday, but I thought with it being later in the day, it might stay on.” The $100,000 purchase at the 2020 Keeneland September Yearling Sale returned $3.50 on a $2 win wager and improved her career earnings to $141,375.“We needed to stay close,” Pletcher said. “We anticipated the 8 (Let’s Be Clear) would be on the lead, but I think she stumbled leaving there and that changed the complexion of the first 1/8 (of a mile) a little bit. Jose was able to get her in the position we wanted and she was able to keep wearing them down.”Let’s Be Clear rallied for second by a nose, edging Sail By under rider Manny Franco. Trained by Brad Cox, Let’s Be Clear has finished first or second in all 3 of her career starts following her maiden-breaking score on July 21 at Saratoga.“I was in a good spot,” Franco said. “I was just trying to make it a little more difficult for the winner (Miss Interpret). That’s what we did, but she was much the best.”Sail By, trained by Leah Gyarmati, earned black type for a second consecutive start after finishing second in the Colleen on August 1 at Monmouth Park. Runaway Breeze completed the order of finish.Expand the Map, Philly Eagles, Silvery Rill, Take the Backroads, and Mystic Eyes scratched.Live racing resumes Friday at Saratoga with a 10-race card highlighted by the $120,000 Lucky Coin for 4-year-olds and up who have not won a stakes this year in race 9 at 5:39 PM.
