Summers Windsong (RC Royalty) scored a career best victory in Thursday's featured race at Saratoga Casino and Raceway.
On an afternoon that felt more like summer than fall, Summers Windsong cruised to a wire-to-wire win in the $10,500 feature for New York Sired trotters.
Phil Fluet catch drove the three year old for trainer Ray Schnittker and moved the favored filly out to the early lead.
On a day in which temperatures approached the 70 degree mark in Saratoga Springs, Summers Windsong never had an anxious moment en route to a career best 1:57.3 score.
It was the third win of the season for the filly who recently returned from a stint at Plainridge racing in Massachusetts Stakes competition.
Fluet prevailed in both of his drives on Thursday as his Eternal Prince scored in wire-to-wire fashion on the afternoon card.
