Bonamassa Keeps Rolling At Saratoga
Bonamassa continued her strong start to the meet on Wednesday (March 20) at Saratoga Casino Hotel, recording her third win of the season in just her fifth start.
The 3-5 betting favourite in her division of the $9,000 co-featured races for New York-sired trotters, Bonamassa wound up sitting the two-hole and parlayed her pocket ride to victory in career-best fashion. Brett Crawford has been the regular pilot this year for the daughter of Muscle Mass, who again surged in the stretch before stopping the timer in 1:57.4, continuing the strong start to her 2019 campaign for trainer Maureen Salino.
Proving to be versatile this season, Bonamassa has thrived while racing up close and from off the pace in her handful of tries in her four-year-old season.
Live racing continues on Thursday afternoon (March 21) at Saratoga, with first post at noon. There is a $5,000 guarantee in the Pick-5 pool starting in race one. Race five offers a $25,000 guarantee in the triple pool.
