ginger punch romps in go for wand

Ginger Punch, trained by Bobby Frankel, just captured the Grade I Gof For Wand Handicap by several lengths in the ninth race of the afternoon. Ridden today by Rafael Bejarano, Ginger Punch beat Miss Shop and Teammate, both trained by Allen Jerkens, to the wire.

Earlier in the day, My Typhoon won the Grade I Diana Handicap (it was trainer Bill Mott's third straight Diana victory) and Diabolical won the Grade II Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap. All three winners picked up automatic berths in the Breeders' Cup Championships based on the new "Win and You're In" system which debuted at Saratoga today.

Up next, the Grade I, $750,000 Whitney. 24 minutes to post...
