Forego

In just his second start for trainer Marty Wolfson, Silverleaf Farm's POMEROY

(Boundary) bettered his rivals by 2 1/4 lengths in the $250,000

Forego S.

(G1) at Saratoga Race Course on Saturday.

The five-year-old bay sat off the

lead in between rivals as the speedy Spanish Chestnut (Horse Chestnut [SAf])

traveled the first quarter-mile in :22 4/5. The eventual winner took the advantage prior to the

half-mile mark in :45 3/5 as Spanish Chestnut faded. Pomeroy dug in when roused

by jockey John Velazquez, keeping all other rivals at bay while completing the

seven-furlong affair in 1:23 1/5 over the fast track.

Sent off at 6-1, Pomeroy returned $14.20, $5.70 and $4.10, while leading

exotics of $69 (exacta), $926 (trifecta) and $7,357 for the 8-11-3-10 superfecta.

War Front (Danzig) left the gate at 5-1 and managed to get up for second after

rating just off the pace throughout, giving back $5 and $3.80. Friendly Island

(Crafty Friend) was just a neck back to take third, paying $9.70 at 36-1.

Silver Wagon

(Wagon Limit) was making his way up the rail in the final yards, but fell just

short, hitting the wire in fourth. Following him were Mass Media (Touch Gold),

Nightmare Affair (Out of Place), Awesome Twist (Awesome Again), Judiths Wild

Rush (Wild Rush), Greeley's Galaxy (Mr. Greeley), Commentator (Distorted Humor)

and Spanish Chestnut.

Bred in Kentucky by Cherry Valley Farm LLC, Pomeroy is out of the winning mare Questress (Seeking the Gold), whose latest foals are an unraced two-year-old

colt named Gateway West (Arch) and a yearling filly by Horse Chestnut (SAf).

This was Pomeroy's second career Grade 1 victory, both coming at Saratoga. Purchased from the 2003 Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Winter Mixed Sale

for $300,000, he annexed the 2004 King's Bishop S. (G1) and

won the Alfred G. Vanderbilt H. (G2) the next year. Pomeroy improved his record

to 17-7-4-2, $845,050 with Saturday's win.
