Salute the Sarge Leading Third-Crop Sire in California

Salutos_AmigosAlready a graded stakes winner, SALUTOS AMIGOS added another Grade-3 score to the list of his accomplishments by winning the Fall Highweight Handicap at Aqueduct — and in doing so catapulted his sire, Salute the Sarge, to the top of the Third-Crop sire list in California. On a sealed track and carrying the highest weight (133 lbs) among the seven starters remaining to contest the 6 furlongs, the four-year-old relished the sloppy going and, although seven wide in the stretch, won by almost 2 lengths. He increased his earnings to $627,406.
