Saratoga Springs, NY

Saratoga Springs, NY — With no Open on the Monday (Dec. 4) card at Saratoga Casino Hotel, an $11,500 race for fillies and mares served as the feature. The eight-horse field featured a few distaffers who have competed in Opens recently. American Tour N (American Ideal) won the Fillies and Mares Open on Oct. 16 before moving back to the claiming ranks soon thereafter. The Brett Derue-trained mare went coast-to-coast last week (Nov. 27) with Jim McNeight Jr. in the sulky and on Monday was her race’s 8-5 betting favorite as she looked to repeat.

If you are a lover of fried chicken and chicken sandwiches, the last year or so has probably been heaven for you around metro Phoenix. There have been countless chicken restaurants opening up around the area, some locally bred, but many flying in from outside the state. It’s a long way off from when it was difficult to track down chicken wings back during the pandemic. Now, a local chicken shop that opened just a year ago has already connected with the community and has opened a second location, spreading even more fried chicken goodness to hungry patrons.
