The first week of the "official" Saratoga racing season is in the books. Defending riding champion Irad Ortiz, Jr. moved to the top of the jockey standings with his 2nd straight riding triple, giving him 9 wins in the first four days of the meet.
Sunday's feature, the Quick Call, now with corporate sponsorship from the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, was won by Governor Sam, the last of Ortiz's winning rides on the day. Governor Sam is co-owned by the Boston Red Sox's All Star 3rd baseman, Alex Bregman.
Racing resumes Wednesday with a 9 race card at 1:10 pm.
======================================================
The Tri-City Valleycats head into the All Star break with some momentum, after thrashing the Three Rivers Eagles, 11-2, on Sunday. Jake Reinisch (Shenendehowa/Wake Forest) hit 2 homers to lead the way. Mikell Manzano went 6 innings to pick up the win.
The two teams will meet Friday at Bruno Stadium (weather permitting) at 6:30 pm.
========================================================
Matt Quatraro (Bethlehem) may be thankful his Kansas City Royals salvaged a game against the Mets on Sunday.
The teams weathered a pre-game rain delay for the 2nd time in the series. The Royals spoiled the season debut of Sean Manaea, who pitched 3 1/3 innings in relief of starter Clay Holmes, by walking off Manaea & the Mets, 3-2.
