Trainer Jackie Greene teamed with driver Jay Randall for a hat trick at Saratoga Casino Hotel on Saturday evening (July 1).
Hudson Phil started the ball rolling in the seventh race, a $7,500 condition pace, for Team Greene-Randall.
As the gate pulled away, Hudson Phil settled in along the pylons, but as soon as American Rebel cleared the front and just before the quarter in :28, Randall was on the move with Hudson Phil. The pair took over command and kept going through the half in :57 and three-quarters in 1:25. Hudson never looked back as he kept pedaling to a two-length victory in 1:53.4. American Rebel pocketed second and Major Camby was third.
Hudson Phil, owned by the Kellogg Racing Stables LLC, earned his 42nd career win, moving his career earnings to $690,119.
Artful Way is no stranger to the winner's circle as the 11-year-old Artistic Fella-Art Debut son made his 75th trip to get his picture taken in the $11,500 condition pace.
Randall followed the pocket trip behind Toatsmygoats through panels in :27.4, :57.2 and 1:25 before tipping out in the final turn. Down the stretch, Herrickroosevelt N, Mr Perfect N and Artful Way battled for the win. Artful Way prevailed by a half-length in 1:53.3. Herrickroosevelt N was second and Mr Perfect N finished third.
Greene trains Artful Way for Kellogg Racing Stables LLC as he moved his career bankroll to $871,210.
