Bring Theband Home Wins Fourth Consecutive Saratoga Troy Sprint

Bring Theband Home, a 5-year-old Florida-bred Into Mischief gelding trained by Hall of Famer Mark Casse, extended his undefeated record at Saratoga to 4-for-4 by winning the Grade 2, $300,000 Troy Stakes, a 5 1/2-furlong turf sprint. After a dominant win in the Listed Harvey Pack Stakes with a near-record time of 59.90 seconds, he continued his strong form by posting a winning time of 1:00.38 in the Troy, overcoming early bumping and setting a fast pace from the lead. Jockey Javier Castellano, who had been winless for a month prior, praised the horse's ability to relax on the lead and respond well when urged. Casse expressed confidence in Bring Theband Home's chances for the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint at Del Mar, noting the horse's preference for firm turf and his competitive speed figures. The colt's consistent performance at Saratoga, combined with his pedigree linked to elite runners including Paynter and Tiznow, marks him as a major contender in upcoming turf sprint races.
