Drefong, Gio Ponti's Eclipse Award winning sprinter from 2016, ran away with the G1 Forego at Saratoga last Saturday. Breaking from the outside jockey Mike Smith quickly gained the lead and never looked back for a stunning gate to wire victory by a geared down 4 lengths. The Champion stopped the clock at 1:21.12 for this prestigious G1 over 7 furlongs, just 2/5 outside the track record. Trainer Bob Baffert suggested that he may run at Santa Anita in a prep for the Breeders' Cup prior to a bid to retain the sprinting crown at Del Mar in November.
