Victorious seventeen days ago in her Spa debut over a sloppy (sealed) racing surface, Patsy Symons' Effie Trinket, a 2-year-old daughter of Freud, turned her dry track debut to excellent account on Monday afternoon, taking Saratoga's $100,000 Aristae overnight stakes for 2-year-old New York-bred fillies.
