Patsy Symons’s Gitchee Goomie took the $100,000 Yaddo Stakes by a nose today. Last year, Patsy’s Meriwether Jessica won the same race. As you can imagine, it was very exciting and the champagne flowed in the Saratoga Room after the Winner’s C?ircle ceremonies.

Tomorrow, Katy’s Office Girl in the 5th and Hear the Footsteps in the 11th will compete on the grass, weather permitting. Hear the Footsteps provided our only win at Saratoga last year and finished 2nd in his initial outing on July 31 here in Saratoga. This will be Katy’s first race at the Spa.

We’ll follow up with you after the races. All the best!
