No filly or mare has ever won the Fourstardave Handicap at Saratoga, but two entries are looking to buck history when graded stakes-winner Got Stormy and grade 1-winner Uni face eight males in Saturday’s featured race. Got Stormy makes a one-week spin back after winning the De La Rose Stakes Aug. 3 off of two placings against graded stakes company, including a game third in the grade 1 Jenny Wiley at Keeneland and a second in the grade 2 Distaff Turf Mile at Churchill. Uni is unbeaten in five starts at the one-mile distance and seeks a second career grade 1 win. The daughter of More Than Ready enters the Fourstardave off of five consecutive victories and notched her first grade 1 win in the Matriarch at Del Mar last December.
