Live Oak Plantation homebred Bring Theband Home earned his first added-money win in the $150,000 Harvey Pack S. at Saratoga on Independence Day.

Bring Theband Home, who had made just one stakes start prior to Friday, turned in a sterling front-running effort in the 5 ½-furlong turf affair. The 5-year-old got away from the gate the fastest of 11 and never looked back, powering through the stretch to win by 4 ¼-lengths in a lightning-quick :59.90 on the firm turf.

The time was just one-tenth of a second off the track record and earned a 109 Beyer Speed Figure.

“It was really good,” said jockey Javier Castellano. “He’s a very fast horse. He breaks pretty quick out of the gate and is a very unique horse and I liked the way he did it. I know the fractions went in twenty-one seconds but the way he does it, he’s a speed horse and he carried it all the way to the wire.”

The 5-year-old is now 5-3-1 in 12 starts and has earned $341,764.
