When Omaha Set Hut came to Saratoga Casino Hotel to compete last week, the three-year-old son of Credit Winner battled top New York Sire Stakes colts.

The Tyler Freese-trained trotter was overmatched in the $88,350 stake as he ran into a track record performance by Dayson who trotted in 1:54.2. On Tuesday night, Omaha Set Hut returned to the Spa to compete in the $9,950 feature for New York Sired trotters and had Bruce Aldrich, Jr. in the sulky.

Bet down to be the race’s 3-5 favourite, Omaha Set Hut cruised out to the early lead and never had an anxious moment as he coasted to an open length victory in the race for winners of two but not more than four races lifetime. The win came in 1:56.4 which served as a new career best for the sophomore trotter.

Aldrich went on to sweep the early pick three en route to a driver’s hat trick. Driver Jimmy Devaux also piloted three winners on the Tuesday card.

Live racing continues on Wednesday night at Saratoga with a 7:05 p.m. first post.
