Saratoga Dew Attracts Six

Six New York-bred fillies and mares have drawn in for Friday’s seventh running of the $70,000 Saratoga Dew.

Edward Cox, Jr.’s Banker’s Buy has been made the 2-1 morning-line favorite and will leave from post 3 with Jose Lezcano. Trained by Nick Zito, the 4-year-old daughter of Distorted Humor has won two of four starts this year, most recently taking a 1 1/16^th-mile allowance optional claimer at Belmont on July 8. Second in her only career stakes start – the Real Prize Stakes at Belmont last October – she will stretch out to 1 1/8^th miles for the first time in the Saratoga Dew. 

Second-choice on the morning line is Akindale Farms’ My Dinah, who was third in last year’s renewal of the race. Winner of the seven-furlong Fleet Indian Stakes at the Spa on July 30, she finished 11^th on the grass in the Yaddo on August 20. 

Completing the field are Don’t Forget Gil, seventh in the William B. Fasig Stakes; Landlash, sixth in the Lake Luzerne; Wicked Diva, fifth in an allowance optional claimer on August 23 and Big Brownie, who was second in that race.
