Brown Brinny Repeats In Saratoga Open

Published: October 7, 2017 12:25 am EDT

Brown Brinny became a rare distaffer to win back-to-back tries in the Fillies and Mares Open at Saratoga Casino Hotel this season

The Brittany Robertson-trained and owned mare was the public’s 6-5 betting favourite on Friday (October 6) as she looked to repeat off her first victory in the $18,000 local feature last week.

Dan Cappello Jr. situated Brown Brinny into the pocket as rival Glenferrie Bronte N (Bruce Aldrich Jr.) took the early lead. The fractions were fast in the Open and after Glenferrie Bronte N dispatched one challenge, she didn’t have enough to hold off Brown Brinny in the stretch. Brown Brinny matched her lifetime mark with the win, which came in 1:53.4. Glenferrie Bronte N was the runner-up while Its A Miracle (Jimmy Devaux) closed sharply for third.

Five-year-old Jeremes Jet daughter Brown Brinny has banked more than $200,000 lifetime.

The exacta and triple paid $18.40 and $120, respectively with the 6-5 favourite on top.

Live racing continues on Saturday night with a first post time set for 6:45 p.m.
