Washington, PA --- Newborn Sassy extended her winning streak to six with an effortless victory in Wednesday’s (Sept 30) Keystone Classic at The Meadows. Cut And Paste captured the other division of the event for freshman filly pacers, giving Tim Tetrick a stake sweep.   


Although Newborn Sassy began her career with a pair of losses, Tetrick was aboard for her debut and was impressed. 

 

“She’s the top 2-year-old pacing filly that I’ve driven this year,” Tetrick said. “We liked her all along. First time I sat behind her, I thought she had talent but was a little green. She’s really come along well.” 

 

Since then, the daughter of Western Ideal-Sass Newton has won every outing, taking her mark of 1:51.1 in a PA Sites Stake at The Meadows. In the Keystone Classic, she coasted home on the lead in 1:53.1, downing Catharsis by 7-1/4 lengths, with Vorst third. 

 

Jim King, Jr., who conditions Newborn Sassy and owns with CC Racing, said she remains eligible for the Matron, which, for the first time, will limit its field to the top money winners. 

 

“I’m not sure if she’ll go. You don’t know who’ll go on and who’ll win what,” King said. “I’d hate to train her for five weeks and be Also Eligible.” 

 

Cut And Paste cruised on the front end in 1:54.4 after Tetrick gave her a leisurely 58:3 front half on the point. 

 

“We got good fractions, and my filly really sprinted off,” Tetrick said. “She’s really quick off the wings and really handy.” 

 

The daughter of Well Said-On The Arm scored in 1:54.4, 3-1/4 lengths better than the pocket-sitting Danika P. She Devil Rusty rallied for show. Linda Toscano conditions Cut And Paste for Stake Your Claim Stable, Camelot Stable and Fred Wallace.
