About

Saint In The City is a 6yo colt from the United States trained by Thomas L. Van Berg. It is sired by the stallion Mendelssohn out of the dam Overly Tempting. Saint In The City has won three races to date. On 3 Nov 2024 at Churchill Downs, it earned its biggest victory, taking the $127,000 Race 9 purse. The horse has been a profitable bet for punters; backing it throughout its career would have yielded a 7% return on investment.
