Saratoga Maidens, presented by KeenelandPharocity (American Pharoah) stepped out to lead the procession right after the jump and never gave his rivals a second opinion in the lane to stroll home the newest 'TDN Rising Star' at the Spa.Right to the front and posting an opening quarter in :22.91, the 4-1 shot was comfortably in hand after a half-mile in :46.09 and rolled through six panels in 1:10.60 as the field behind him tried to mount a response.Kicking clear of the battle for the minors, Pharocity was never in any danger en route to victory. Mischief Time (Into Mischief) produced an eye-catching rally to run second (as well as an equally noteworthy gallop out) and Jackpot Rocket (Tapit) gamely held on to third.8-5 favorite Electro (Gun Runner) was never in contention and finished off the board.The final time was 1:23.02. takes them gate-to-wire and wins on debut for trainer Steve Asmussen with jockey @RSantana_Jr aboard. pic.twitter.com/VKCCIz3hU8— TwinSpires Racing (@TwinSpires) September 5, 2026 The post American Pharoah’s Pharocity Strolls Home to ‘Rising Star’ Honors at The Spa appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
