Taking advantage of a pace duel up front, MOVIN' ON UP (m, 5, Accelerate–Stifle Yourself, by Cairo Prince) was able to pass them all late to win the GII Caress Stakes Saturday at Saratoga under Tyler Gaffalione.Last of the five as favorites Sunna (Dominus) and In Our Time (Not This Time) matched strides through a speedy opening quarter in :20.87, the 5-1 shot had to first make up ground to get in touch with the the middle markers. As the trailing three began to pull those tiring leaders back to them at the quarter pole, Movin' On Up had to come widest of the quintet but was rolling down the center of the turf course in a joint move with Zeitlos (Curlin) who was coming up the fence.But with all the momentum on her side, Movin' On Up had the faster closing strides and drew off in the final yards to pick up her first graded stakes win. Zeitlos was second ahead of In Our Time in a final time of 1:01.04. Lifetime Record: 20-6-2-5.O-Kenneth L. Ramsey; B-Estate Of Harvey A. Clarke; T-Saffie A.
