We don't know what she beat, if anything, and we don't know how her final time stacks up because no one knows yet how slow Saratoga inner turf course is at the moment.
But we do know that from a visual aspect, Newspaperofrecord couldn't have been more impressive in her debut just now winning a two turn grass route by about a zip code. She is a 2-year-old Irish bred by Lope de Vega trained by Chad Brown, and she was no surprise as she was the 3-2 favorite.
What's particularly intriguing about Newspaperofrecord is how effective she might be once she figures this game out. I mean, she showed some definite signs of inexperience, such as swapping leads late, yet still scored in lopsided fashion.
