Horse overcomes early bump, late challenge in victory.
When Hall of Fame trainer Jack Fisher saw his esteemed steeplechaser Snap Decision was assigned a field-high 164 pounds for the Grade 1, $150,000 Jonathan Sheppard Handicap, he nearly decided against running the son of Hard Spun in the 2 3/8-mile test for older horses. But Snap Decision answered the challenge with aplomb, posting an impressive open-lengths victory on Wednesday at Saratoga Race Course.
Morning-line favorite's trainer is still weighing options for his next race.
Bruton Street-US’s evergreen steeplechase specialist Snap Decision will return to racing over the hurdles in Wednesday’s Grade 1, $150,000 Jonathan Sheppard, a handicap for 4-year-olds and up traveling 2 3/8 miles at Saratoga Race Course.
Jed Doro, racing secretary at Delaware Park, has been named Director of Racing and will replace the retiring John Mooney in this role.
