Azar (Scat Daddy) entered Wednesday’s $200,000 With Anticipation S. (G2) at
Saratoga 0-for-two in his career, but quickly added a first score to his resume
with jockey John Velazquez aboard.
The Todd Pletcher trainee bided his time on the inside while fellow maiden
Next Shares (Archarcharch) led the way. That 15-1 shot was still in command in
the lane, but Velazquez suddenly angled Azar off the hedge and the two-year-old
dark bay took off. He easily ran down Next Shares to be three parts of a length
best on the wire while completing 1 1/16 miles over the firm Saratoga turf in
1:41.68.
