>Secluded Island posted the most impressive mile of the evening on Thursday night at Saratoga Casino and Raceway. The conditioned pacer was dropping in class and coming off of an impressive 1:54.4 qualifier at Monticello in the evening’s ninth race.

Jim Devaux piloted Secluded Island (Island Fantasy) to the convincing victory as they went wire-to-wire, stopping the timer in an impressive 1:53.2.
