MIRRAGON REPLAY
Former Riverina gelding Rocknroll Runa won his ninth race for the season and tipped his 2023 earnings over the $180,000 mark in a $15,000 Open at Saratoga Raceway on Saturday night.
Starting from the outside No. 7 gate, the five-year-old settled down in fourth position before powering to the front at the half-mile marker. He was never again headed, winning effortlessly in 1:52.6 on a sloppy track.
