Cyber Ninja proves too tough to handle in $75,000 Michael G. Walsh novice stakes

Riverdee Stable’s Cyber Ninja, sent off as the 4-5 favorite, waited patiently in third, unleashed a powerful rally with a little less than a quarter mile to go, then repelled a strong challenge from Del Rio Racing’s Lynches Knock to score in today’s Saratoga steeplechase.

With Jamie Bargary riding for trainer Jack Fisher, the six-year-old son of Arrogate won for the fourth time in seven NSA outings, bringing his career bankroll to $470,000.
