First-time starter PAY MONTHLY (f, 2, Golden Pal–Monthly, by Malibu Moon) got the best of several more experienced rivals Friday in the Saratoga opener, becoming the 19th winner for her freshman sire (by Uncle Mo).Sent up to stalk the pace set by Quartz Mountain (Golden Pal) in this 5 1/2 furlong turf sprint, the 7-1 shot sat right off that rival's flank into the far turn as the top pair separated themselves from the rest of the field by a widening margin.Head and head turning for home with no one making up any discernable ground from the back, Pay Monthly steadily got the better of her rival to the inside and began to draw away nicely in the final sixteenth, leading in Quartz Mountain who won the photo for second over Breaker (Into Mischief).7-5 race favorite Rockabye (Flightline) was fourth.
