The 3-year-old will be one of the top contenders in the $5 million Classic on Oct. 27 at Monmouth Park.
Any Given Saturday hit the starting gate at the break and absorbed an early bump before settling into stride.
"I hit the side of the gate and my colt broke outward," said jockey Garrett Gomez. "It took us about four jumps to get off each other. It was kind of a tangled start."
After the early mishaps, the colt had clear sailing as he rallied to a 2 1/2-length win over Tasteyville with Helsinki third.
Trainer Todd Pletcher was relieved to get the final prep out of the way.
"Any time you are a big favorite, you just want everything to go smoothly," Pletcher said. "He had to work a bit. Well go from here. All in all, were very pleased."
Jazzy could be heading to the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint at Monmouth on Oct. 26 following a half-length victory in the $147,000 Gallant Bloom Handicap. The 5-year-old bred in Argentina made her first start on dirt, a test to see how she would handle the surface.
