Brett Beckwith wrapped up a sweep of the Opens this week at Saratoga Casino Hotel when on Tuesday afternoon, the track’s top reinsman piloted Arizona (Up The Credit) to another feature score. After guiding The Good Doctor and Snowpiercer to Open wins in the previous two days, Beckwith sat behind the track’s defending award winner for Filly and Mare Pacer of the Year Arizona who was assigned post position seven in the $15,000 Open. The talented distaffer marched out to the early lead in the ladies’ feature and rattled off first-half fractions of 28 seconds and 57.3 before opening up an insurmountable lead in the Open and prevailing by a measured length. Pocket-sitter Waitforever N (Aaron Byron) was the runner-up to Arizona on Tuesday while longshot Quarrel (Jay Randall) came on for third. Arizona, who is owned by Wendy Timpano, was one of seven winners on the day for Brett Beckwith who is enjoying another sensational start to his season at the Spa. The 22 year old’s mother Melissa trains Arizona in addition to four other winners on the matinee card en route to a training five-bagger. Arizona’s Open score was her second in three starts the Spa in 2025.
Live racing continues on Wednesday with a matinee that kicks off at Noon.
