A change of tactics sparked a change of fortunes for Donegal Racing’s Ready to Purrform in Friday’s National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame (G2) at Saratoga.

While Tiz the Bomb justified favoritism in the Jeff Ruby Steaks, the companion Bourbonette Oaks witnessed a massive upset.

Separated by a neck in the John Battaglia Memorial S. on March 5, Tiz the Bomb and Stolen Base highlight an overflow field of 13 in Saturday’s $600,000 Jeff Ruby S.

Sunday’s $200,000 John B. Connally Turf Cup (G3) was one for the history books at Sam Houston, as Fantasioso, Another Mystery, and Strong Tide flashed across the wire in unison.

Favorites obliged in Sunday’s Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” races for turf juveniles at Keeneland, but Averly Jane had a more straightforward time in the Indian Summer S. than Tiz the Bomb did in the Bourbon (G2).
