Trainer Gary Levine recorded three wins within the first four races and went on to win four times on the Monday program at Saratoga Casino Hotel. The veteran conditioner and former training champion is in the midst of another big season at the Spa and added another four victories to his year’s tally on the matinee card. The Levine stable featured a quartet of trotters to enjoy Monday scores as his day began with a victory from young high-stepper Antonella who prevailed for the first time in her three local tries. Levine, who regularly teams up with Saratoga Hall of Fame reinsman Jimmy Devaux, saw his Swan In All register his second local win since coming to town late in the summertime before completing his training hat trick with Indiana Help (Helpisontheway). Three-year-old filly Indiana Help made her Saratoga debut last week (Oct 26) and scored an impressive victory from off the pace for Devaux and Levine. On Monday, the young filly wasted no time assuming the early lead en route to a coast-to-coast score at odds of 1-5. Indiana Help stopped the timer in 1:57.1 in her $11,750 race for young trotters. Epos Ostervang DK sprung the upset in the afternoon’s finale prevailing at odds of 21-1 to complete the grand slam for his connections. Levine will likely finish third in the training standings in 2026 sitting well behind leaders Melissa Beckwith and Jaymes McAssey but with a big lead over everyone else with about five weeks remaining in the racing season.
Live racing resumes on Saturday at Saratoga with a first post time set for 12pm.
