She covered the mile and a sixteenth in 1: Neck of the Moon was sent off at odds of 5-1 and two-for-two Capriana went off at 3-5 under John Velazquez in the field of 10. Capriana, who had won her last start by 10 ½ lengths at Belmont Park, wasn t the only unbeaten filly Neck of the Moon took down. Swear By It, who was also two for two and went off as the 9-2 second choice under Irad Ortiz, Jr., finished third, nearly four lengths behind the winner. Chad Brown trains both Neck of the Moon and Swear By It. Neck of the Moon is a daughter of More Than Ready out of Cotopaxi by With Approval who was bred by Stone Bridge Farm and had been ridden by Ortiz in her previous three starts. Though Neck of the Moon entered Monday s race without a victory since 2013, she had two victories and a third in three previous starts at Saratoga, including her last win on August 18 th, Amber Morning, a 22-1 longshot on the rail ridden by Luis Saez, set the pace while chased by 37-1 Run to Mama through a quarter in :24.72, a half-mile in :49.45 and three-quarters in 1: Velazquez had Capriana beautifully placed on the outside in third, with Neck of the Moon right behind her in fourth for the entire first six furlongs. Velazquez moved Capriana up on the outside around the far turn to challenge for the lead, and Neck of the Moon followed her. When Capriana cleared the lead in mid-stretch, Neck of the Moon took her on. Then she wore her down in the final 200 yards to earn the victory. Swear By It closed well to finish a non-threatening third, and Run to Mama finished fourth. Neck of the Moon improved her grass record to three for 10 with three seconds and two thirds. She also has a third from her lone dirt start on a sloppy track, for total earnings topping $190,000. Ice Wine Stable s undefeated three-year-old colt Royal Asset, the 5-2 favorite in the field of 11 ridden by Joel Rosario, defeated 11-1 Possilicious by a half-length in a six-furlong $78,000 New York-bred allowance/optional $42,000 claimer Monday. Saratoga Heater, who went off at 4-1 odds under Joe Bravo, and 10-1 Mighty Zealous under Taylor Rice closed well in tandem to finish third and fourth, respectively, after Royal Asset won in a final time of 1: Wesley Ward trains Royal Asset, a son of Langfuhr out of Royal Relic by Colonial Affair who was bred by Stone Bridge Farm. Royal Asset, who sold for $185,000 as a yearling at Saratoga in 2013, was making just his third career start after finishing third in his debut and being placed first on a double disqualification, and then winning an allowance race by almost six lengths.

2 Royal Asset outdueled longshot Sol the Freud for the early lead and set quick fractions: a quarter in :22.02 and a half-mile in : Possilicious, ridden by Kendrick Carmouche, wasn t far behind while chasing him the whole way. They hooked up in mid-stretch, but Royal Asset put away Possilicious late for the win. Royal Asset is now three for three with earnings of just under $120,000. It took him the length of the stretch to do it, but Repole Stable s three-year-old colt One Sided, perfectly ridden by Irad Ortiz, Jr., collared dead-game frontrunner Bellamy Way in the final strides Monday to take a $75,000 New York-bred maiden special weight by a head. He covered the mile and an eighth in 1: One Sided was the 5-2 second choice and Bellamy Way, ridden by Joel Rosario, was sent off at 9-2 odds in the field of eight. Todd Pletcher trains One Sided, a son of Quality Road out of Madame Red by Forest Wildcat who was purchased for $180,000 last year. One Sided had finished in the money in all four of his previous starts, including a tough-beat second by a nose at 6-1 odds under Javier Castellano in his previous start at Belmont Park on July 15 th. Castellano opted to ride Tiz Time to Shine, who went off the slight 5-2 favorite and was never involved. Breaking alertly from the two post, Bellamy Way took a one-length lead over 13-1 Intelligence on the rail and One Sided on his outside through a :24.22 first quarter. Behind them were Tiz Time to Shine and 6-1 Zabaione alternating in fourth and fifth. After a half-mile in :49.37, One Sided moved up to second on the outside of Bellamy Way. Heading into the far turn after three-quarters in 1:13.97, One Sided drew even with Bellamy Way and they battled every single step of the way to the wire, with One Sided getting up in the desperate final yards. Zabaione finished a distant third and 5-1 Repent Twice was fourth. One Sided now has two victories, two seconds and a third from five career starts, for just under $120,000 in earnings. Obviously benefitting from a game front-running second by a neck in his slightly shorter sprint debut at Belmont Park, Luis Archilla s colt No Entiendo burst to the lead on the rail under Cornelio Velasquez and never looked back, winning Monday s opener, a five-furlong $73,000 New York-bred maiden special weight for two-year-olds, by a length and a half in a final time of : Rudy Rodriguez trains No Entiendo, a son of Bellamy Road out of Prairie Fever by Richter Scale who was bred by Fred Hertrich and was purchased earlier this year for $40,000.

Offering Plan Returns with a Powerful Performance Sunday at Saratoga Dubb, Nantucket Thoroughbred Partners, Bethlehem Stables and Gary Aisquith s colt Offering Plan made a spectacular three-year-old debut at Saratoga Sunday, exploding through the stretch once Irad Ortiz, Jr. found a clear lane to win a $75,000 New York-bred grass allowance by 4 ½ lengths. He covered the one-mile distance in 1:35.56 as the 6-5 favorite in a field of 12. In doing so, he gave Ortiz his third victory of the afternoon. Trainer Chad Brown did an incredible job getting Offering Plan ready for his first start since October 31, when he finished 13 th but was only beaten by 4 ¾ lengths in the Grade 1 Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf at Santa Anita. The son of Spring At Last out of Rosalie Road by Street Cry (IRE), bred by C.W. Swann and Cygnet Farm, was purchased as a two-year-old for $135,000 last year. He made an immediate return when he debuted at Saratoga last August 28 th, winning a New York-bred maiden special weight by a length and a half at 4-1 odds under Jose Lezcano. Lezcano was in the saddle again when Offering Plan finished third in his second career start in the Grade 3 Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont Park at 7-1 odds. He went off at 27-1 odds in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Turf and was steadied early in the race under Ortiz. Offering Plan had no traffic trouble Sunday as Ortiz let him settle in eighth early while 21-1 Gym Too set the pace, hitting the first quarter in :23.09 and the half-mile in : Ortiz saved ground on the hedge around the turn, then found a clear path on the outside at the top of the stretch. Offering Plan immediately burst past all the horses in front of him and won by himself. Island Therapy, who started very slowly at 51-1 odds under Manuel Franco, rallied to finish second, two lengths clear of 50-1 Mister Dooley in third. Irish Jade was just another head behind in fourth at 12-1 odds. Offering Plan now has two victories and a third from four starts, with earnings of nearly $120,000.

She covered the six and a half furlongs in 1: Both fillies went off at 2-1 odds, with Awesome News a slight favorite in the field of seven. Leaving from the seven post, Velazquez shot Awesome News to the lead and she opened a twolength cushion on 5-1 My Super Nova through a :22.70 first quarter-mile. Junior Alvarado moved Myfourchix up from fifth into third as Awesome News led through a :46.05 half-mile.

4 Myfourchix then moved into second and went after the front-runner, but Awesome News remained strong on the lead and held her off. My Super Nova finished third, 2 ½ lengths behind Myfourchix while well clear of 5-1 Sonora in fourth.

The Ramseys and Sharp claimed Pink Freud Live for $40,000 in her previous race, when she was fourth in maiden claimer at Belmont Park. Sharp moved her up to a maiden special weight and added Lasix and blinkers, and she got the job done. Pink Freud Live raced in last, avoiding a torrid speed duel between 6-1 Sing for Beauty, 4-1 Hush Now and 6-1 Aquarius that produced a wicked first quarter in : The battle for the lead continued into and around the far turn as I Dream of Candy and Pink Freud Live drew closer. Horses were stacked five across the track at the top of the stretch after a half-mile in : In deep stretch, I Dream of Candy and Pink Freud Live separated themselves from the others.

Rosario then angled Bella Kateri to the outside of Slam Chowder and asked her to make up a two-length deficit in the final sixteenth of a mile. Bella Kateri did just that, nailing Slam Chowder in the final strides. Slam Chowder settled for second, a length and a quarter ahead of 30-1 Southern Sunshine. An even bigger longshot, 48-1 Hatta s Appeal, finished fourth, just three-quarters of a length behind Southern Sunshine. Majestic Bloom, who went off at 5-1 odds under John Velazquez, was another head back in fifth. Bella Kateri is now two for five on turf with two seconds and a third.

Another New York-bred, Wonder Gal, went off at 7-1 odds and finished eighth in the field of 10. She got me screaming a little bit, Bar of Gold s trainer John Kimmel said. This was a good race. I was reminiscing about my first Grade 1 win, the Test with Twist Afleet. Lezcano said, She broke really good and I got the position I wanted, second the whole way. When I asked her, she gave me a pretty good kick. The other filly came and ran past us. I think we can ask her for more. She ran an unbelievable race. This was the first time I rode her and she gave me a great race. Bar of Gold finished 2 ½ lengths behind Cavorting, who rallied from dead last under Irad Ortiz, Jr., while a length and three quarters ahead of By the Moon in third.
