Blazing Home N (Rock N Roll Heaven) put the swoop to the group in the Saturday harness racing feature at Saratoga Casino Hotel. Larry Stalbaum owns and trains the seven year old who won the Open Pace last week (Feb 7) while surging home to score in 1:54.4.

In Saturday’s installment of the $16,500 feature, Stalbaum piloted Blazing Home N and was content to get away last in the seven-horse Open in a race that saw first half fractions of 27.1 and 56.1. The 7-5 betting favorite methodically moved up in the third quarter and after the leader began to tire, Blazing Home N made his move and proved to be true to his name closing sharply in the stretch before coming on to win in 1:54.1.

Vanderbilt N (Ron Cushing) sat the pocket behind the tiring leader before shaking free late to come on to be second while Rebellious (Chris Long) closed to finish third.

Blazing Home N, a six-figure earner in 2025, has already recorded four wins this season after registering a pair of victories in the Northfield Open in January and following those scores up with back-to-back jacks in the local Open.
