Alto Racing, LLC’s Archwarrior had little trouble living up to his advance billing, pulling away in the stretch of Saratoga’s third race on August 30 and winning his debut by 3-1/4 lengths over fellow OBS graduate Malachite (April ’12). After tracking the early leaders down the backstretch, the 2-year-old son of Arch moved up on the turn, hit the front after turning for home and finished six furlongs under a hand ride in 1:10 flat. He was sold for $375,000 by Hartley/De Renzo Thoroughbreds LLC, Agent, at the 2012 OBS March Sale. watch his under tack video
