![]() Jockey Jose Lezcano and Wedding Toast return after the 2015 Ruffian |
There were 3 stakes races at Saratoga on Sunday afternoon, before a crowd of 22,190 under overcast skies and temperatures around 80.
![]() Down the stretch in the Ruffian |
Wedding Toast and Unrivalled Belle bumped at the start, and then jockey John Velazquez sent Wedding Toast to the front. She set fractions of 23.42, 46.96, and 1:10.47 over the fast track while saving ground down on the rail, with Princess Violet pressing her just to her outside a length behind. Into the stretch, Princess Violet moved up to challenge but Wedding Toast turned her away, opening up a 2 length lead in mid-stretch through a mile in 1:34.90, and finished 1 3/4 lengths in front in 1:48.14. It was a long 9 3/4 lengths back to late-running 30-1 longest shot Classofsixtythree third.

![]() Madefromlucky leads down the stretch in the Peter Pan Stakes |
Madefromlucky stumbled at the start but was quickest away, sent to the early lead by jockey Javier Castellano. He set fractions of 23.65, 47.01, and 1:10.05 while 1 1/2 lengths in front of 5-1 fourth choice Pinckney Hill and Conquest Curlinate who stalked in second and third respectively. Entering the lane, Pinckney Hill tired and dropped from contention, allowing Madefromlucky to open up a 2 1/2 length advantage at the 1/8 pole. Conquest Curlinate gradually gained on the pacesetter late but to no avail as Madefromlucky cruised under the line 1 1/4 lengths in front in 1:39.09. It was just a nose back to late-running 20-1 Two Weeks Off third.
