+BERKS COUNTY (c, 2, Lonhro {Aus}–Frankie's Lady, by Meadowlake) worked steadily at Saratoga dating back to late June and was given an 8-1 chance for this unveiling. Biding his time two deep at the back of the pack behind a quarter-mile in :22.15, he launched a sustained five-wide bid on the turn. Continuing on with good momentum in upper stretch, the juvenile stormed home down the center of the strip and edged past fellow firster Ventry Bay (Scat Daddy) to score by 1 1/2 lengths. Favored Caribou Club (City Zip) endured a troubled trip, but managed to rally to complete the trifecta. The winner may have provided a bit of deja vu for his owner, who also campaigned commonly sired Isotherm to a maiden score over the Saratoga sod last summer en-route to a next-out win in Belmont's GIII Pilgrim S. in September. Berks County's dam produced Crider (Closing Argument), GSP, $101,066; and is also responsible for a yearling colt by Into Mischief and a weanling filly by Street Sense. She was most recently bred back to Street Boss. Sales History: $105,000 RNA Ylg '15 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $49,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
