Artful Way Wires Field At Saratoga

Published: August 27, 2017 12:49 am EDT

Saturday, August 26 at Saratoga Raceway, Jackie Greene-trainee Artful Way scored a 1:52.1 wire-to-wire victory in the $18,000 Open Pace.

Coming in off a victory in the Plainridge Open earlier in the week, Artful Way utilized his early speed to make it to the top with relative ease. After getting a first half in :56.2, he had plenty left for the back-half and cruised to the win with Frank Coppola Jr. in the sulky. Long shot Wynberg Courage N was the runner-up, as the 28-1 shot got the pocket ride and held on to earn the place spot while fellow invader Maxdaddy Blue Chip came on to finish third.

Artful Way is owned by the Kellogg Racing Stables of Queensbury, NY. He paid $3.20 to win.

Live racing resumes on Tuesday night at Saratoga with a first post time of 7:05pm.
