Veteran pacer Texas Terror N made his return to Saratoga Casino Hotel on Saturday night following a lifetime best performance at the Meadowlands.
The Al Annunziata trainee was the 4-5 favourite in the $19,500 Open Pace following a 1:50.1 victory in New Jersey last week. Bruce Aldrich, Jr. wasted no time moving Texas Terror N out to the early lead in the Saturday feature and the nine year old pacer took it from there.
Following first half fractions of :27.1 and :56.1, Texas Terror N paced a final half in :55.3 en route to his wire-to-wire win that came in 1:51.4. Deetzy (Billy Dobson) sat the pocket to the winner and finished as the runner-up while Dancin Yankee (Mark Beckwith) earned the show spot.
Live racing continues on Sunday afternoon with a 12:15 p.m. start to the matinee.
