Saratoga Maidens, presented by KeenelandSpendthrift's freshman sire Jackie's Warrior (by Maclean's Music), so brilliant at Saratoga with Grade I wins at two, three, and four, appropriately got his first turf winner at the Spa Sunday to go along with his six main track and all-weather surface winners to date around North America. Let Em Know (c, 2, Jackie's Warrior–America's Tale, by Gio Ponti), a $150,000 Keeneland September yearling and a $600,000 OBS March 2-year-old after working a quarter in :21 1/5, had made just one previous start, which resulted in a sixth July 18 on Saratoga's dirt behind The Good Life (Life Is Good)'s 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' performance.On Sunday, Let Em Know hesitated a little out of the stalls at 16-1, but rushed up while wide to be part of the first flight of the strung-out field while Not Ever (Ire) (No Nay Never) and Casino (Constitution) duked it out up front through a :23.89 first quarter. Settled into a comfortable fourth, Let Em Know tracked outside of Amplified (Happy Saver) while Not Ever and Casino continued to jointly show the way through a :49.72 half. As the tempo quickened on the turn, Let Em Know took aim on the leaders. Casino threw in the towel, but Not Ever wasn't as eager to relinquish his spot. Let Em Know had grittiness to spare, disposing of that rival before hooking up with Roscoe Goose (Olympiad) to his outside. Those two pulled clear of the rest in a ding-dong battle to the wire. The winner swapped to his wrong lead, but held sway in a game effort, getting his head down on the wire in front of Roscoe Goose. Permanent Record (GB) (New Bay {GB}), insighted in the TDN, finished third, while the also-insighted E Z Speaker (Speaker's Corner) improved his position late for fifth.“He's definitely a fighter,” said Edgard Zayas of his mount. “[Trainer Whit Beckman] told me he worked him on the turf (a :51 4/5 move for four furlongs Aug. 9) and he worked really good. He has more speed naturally than what he showed in his first race.”The winner's dam has a yearling filly by Taiba and a 2026 filly by Elite Power. She was bred back to Mage for 2027.LET EM KNOW, by Eclipse Award winner JACKIE'S WARRIOR, breaks his maiden in the sixth race at 16-1 under @zayas_edgardo for @DWhitBeckman. pic.twitter.com/LYl8Om8y16— NYRA () (@TheNYRA) August 16, 2026 6th-Saratoga, $115,000, Msw, 8-16, 2yo, 1 1/16mT, 1:44.55, fm, head.LET EM KNOW (c, 2, Jackie's Warrior–America's Tale {GSW, $405,853}, by Gio Ponti) Sales History: $150,000 Ylg '25 KEESEP; $600,000 2yo '26 OBSMAR.
