Varied (Chapter Seven– White Cheetah-Spiermassa) Brak the Harness Racing Track Record for three-year-old trotting Colts on Saturday night in Saratoga Casino Hotel.
The High-Stepper trained by Marcus Melander was the 1-9 gambling favorite in its $ 82,500 division of the New York Sire Stakes and warned the hype.
Variated in recent weeks, Various has taken on top struters in the Stanley Dancer and Hambletonian Elims in the Meadowlands before he returned to half a mile racing in the Sire Stakes on Saturday.
Jason Bartlett was behind the second time for the first time and drove to the early lead with the overwhelming favorite of the audience. The first half of the race seemed to be nothing extraordinary, because Varegated placed fractions of 28.4 and 58.1, but when the fast intruder was asked to set him up, he responded to record fashion.
Melander’s intern drove through a last half in 56.1 to put the timer in 1: 54.2 to lower the track record for a second -year punishment.

The previous record of 1: 54.3 was held by the veteran who did it in 2018 with Scott Zeron in the Sulky. Karinchak (Mark MacDonald) was second in Varegated and defeated by nearly seven lengths. Seismic Step (Jordan Stratton) earned the show spot. The track record holder is owned by SRF Stable of Delray Beach, Fl.
The other division of the Nyss for Colts and Geldings went the way of seven layers (Chapter Seven– Coffeecake Hanover-Cantab Hall) that was a bit upset on the engine on Saturday evening while they were rejected with a tense of 8-1. Noel Daley trains seven layers whose victory was the first of his career, despite the fact that the three -year -old came into the race with six -digit income in the ’25 campaign.
Live racing resumes on Monday afternoon in Saratoga with a matinee that starts at noon.
