Stakes Record For Angels Ransom

Published: October 30, 2014 02:10 pm EDT

Angels Ransom not only won the $25,000 New Jersey Sire Stakes – Green Acres Final for three-year-old trotters on Thursday, October 29 at Freehold Raceway, but did so in stakes-record time.

The autumn air must agree with the gelded son of Revenue – Queen of Angels, who now has two straight victories to improve his 2014 record to five wins, three seconds and two thirds in 16 starts.

George Brennan was at the lines of Angels Ransom, who crossed the wire in 1:56.4, with a last quarter in 28.3 seconds. It was five and a quarter lengths back to Choco Sun in second. Holiday Spirit finished third.

Angels Ransom, trained by Roland Mallar, eclipsed the Green Acres record for three-year-old gelded trotters of 1:58, which was set by Spat One in 2002. He also bested the colt mark of 1:57, which was established by Watch Out in 2004.

Bred and owned by Michael Andrew of Gorham, ME, Angels Ransom has banked $58,150 this year and $70,760 lifetime.

The Green Acres Final was contested as a non-wagering event prior to the card.
