SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.— Klaravich Stables’ horse for course Technical Analysis recorded her first serious piece of work since capturing the restricted De La Rose on August 2 at Saratoga Race Course when going a half-mile in 50 seconds flat Thursday over the Oklahoma training turf.
Trained by Chad Brown, the 5-year-old Kingman bay mare has captured at least one stakes race for the past three years during the Spa’s prestigious meet. As a sophomore she captured both the Grade 3 Lake George and Grade 2 Lake Placid before winning last year’s Grade 2 Ballston Spa. Her lone defeat at Saratoga took place in last year’s Grade 1 Diana, where she finished second beaten 1 1/2 lengths to stablemate In Italian.
Technical Analysis will now target a repeat conquest of the 1 1/16-mile Grade 2, $300,000 Mohegan Sun Ballston Spa on August 24, where she will attempt to join Wait a While [2007-08] and Weekend Madness [1994-95] and consecutive victresses of the race.
“She worked fine. It was a nice easy breeze for her and I’ll probably wheel her right back in the Ballston Spa,” Brown said.
A Ballston Spa triumph would also put Technical Analysis, who boasts purse earnings of $964,543, in the millionaire’s club. She has put together a record of 14-7-4-1 which also includes a triumph in last year’s Grade 3 Gallorette at Pimlico Race Course.
Bred in Ireland by Rabbah Bloodstock, Technical Analysis is out of the two-time winning Sea the Stars mare Sealife and was bought for $258,109 from the 2019 Tattersalls October Yearling Sale.
