They occupy different ends of Barn 35 on the Oklahoma side of Saratoga Race Course – one down by the lead po- ny’s stall, the other nearest the training track. One is a 4-year-old homebred, the other a Keeneland September graduate. One broke her maiden as a 2-year-old by 9 on the turf at Belmont Park. The other dropped to maiden $35,000 at Aqueduct in February to find the win- ner’s circle. But there they were, finishing a nose apart in a Saratoga stakes. Exclusive Scheme and Chestoria, New York-bred stablemates in Badgett’s care, went 1-2 in the William B. Fasig Stakes here July 31. They meet again as part of a contentious 11-horse field in today’s Yaddo, a $100,000 test going 1 1/8 miles on the inner turf. Perennially competitive, the Yaddo lured the first four finishers from the Fasig – Badgett’s duo plus eight-time winner You Go West Girl and My Magic Moment. They fin- ished a nose, a head and a head apart last time, at 1 1/16 miles. “Whoever gets the best trip wins a lot Tod Marks See YADDO page 6 Stablemates Exclusive Scheme (center) and Chestoria (right) finished 1-2 in the William B.

You could throw four or five names in a hat and pull the win- ner out.” Exclusive Scheme battled on the front throughout that day and prevailed by a nose over Chestoria, who found traffic in the stretch and rallied furiously be- fore falling short. You Go West Girl also closed stoutly and just missed while My Magic Moment found a way to finish behind three horses but lose by a neck. “The owners (Paris Hill Thorough- breds) wanted to run and the first thing I told them was you can’t beat Chesto- ria,” Badgett said. “We went ahead and gave it a shot and she ran great.

  • Up for Next Season Pat Valenzuela Raring to Go
    WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2015 PAT VALENZUELA RARING TO GO By Bill Finley He’s 53, hasn’t ridden in 22 months and his career has been interrupted repeatedly by substance-abuse related suspensions, but Pat Valenzuela predicted he will be as good, if not better, than ever when he returns to riding this week in Louisiana. Valenzuela, who has not ridden since January 2014, has been granted a jockey’s license by the Louisiana Racing Commission. He is scheduled to ride two horses Thursday night at Delta Downs, but both are on the also-eligible list. If neither gets in, Valenzuela will make his comeback aboard Memories of Winter (Hard Spun) in Saturday’s GIII Delta Jackpot. The horse is a legitimate contender in the race, meaning Valenzuela’s first ride back could lead to a trip to the winner’s circle in a $1-million race. He does not have any mounts on Friday’s card at Delta.
