Long Bay Stable's Mitigate will hold the title of first Herringswell Saratoga starter when she breaks from the rail in Friday's second race.

In her debut, the 3-year-old daughter of Vindication finished fourth at Presque Isle Downs on July 1. Traveling 5 1/2 furlongs that night, the $145,000 yearling purchase saved ground and finished evenly to complete the superfecta under Daniel Centeno. Mitigate trailed the leader by 3 1/2 lengths at the first call, and was defeated by the same margin, an old indication that a horse would appreciate a longer distance. In her second start on Friday, she will travel 1 1/16 miles over the rested turf course. New York's leading rider Ramon Dominguez is booked to ride.
