SS Superstar rode a four race win streak into her debut in the $22,222 Open at Saratoga Casino Hotel on Tuesday (April 15) where she continued her momentum.
Larry Stalbaum sat behind his trainee who drew the rail in the Fillies and Mares feature. SS Superstar powered out from her inside post and clicked off a first quarter in 27.1 before yielding to rival Alittlesidehustl N (Billy Dobson) who was last week’s Open winner. That 9-5 second-choice in the wagering led most of the way before facing a two-pronged attack in the stretch. SS Superstar closed sharply in the lane before getting up to win in 1:55.3. The favorite Arizona (Wally Hennessey) closed to be second while Alittlesidehustl N held on for third.
SS Superstar paid $7.90 to win in what was her fifth straight victory and sixth on the 2025 campaign. The winner, who now has fourteen victories in thirty career starts, is owned by Shark Racing Stable of Bainbridge, NY.
Live racing continues on Wednesday (April 16) with a 12 p.m. start to the matinee.
