Chelseas Chance broke the track record with a gate to wire performance in the $8,000 Open II Trot at Batavia Downs Sunday, July 29, stopping the clock in 1:56.1.

Chelseas Chance left from post one and set fractions of :28.2, :58 and 1:26.3 before turning for home with driver Billy Davis Jr. high-lining with a two-length advantage that she held to the wire. The win time of 1:56.1 also equaled her own seasonal mark taken earlier this year.

Winning for the seventh time this season, Chelseas Chance competes for owner and trained by Sabrina Clevenger. She paid $3.40 to win.

The previous track record for aged trotting mares was 1:56.2 set last year by Skyway Priss.

The top-billed trot of the day was the $10,000 Open Handicap Trot and speed prevailed again.

Tioga Downs-invader Dragin The Wagon took the lead and dictated the fractions. Without any movement for most of the mile, Icanflylikeanangel made a bid past the five-eighths and pushed Dragin The Wagon around the final bend. But driver Ray Fisher Jr. kept Dragin The Wagon live enough to hold Icanflylikeanangel at bay and didn't allow the pocket-sitting Empire Earl N any room to get out in the stretch and hung on to win by a half-length in 1:57.4.

Dragin The Wagon is owned by Cary, David and Michael Cantelon and is trained by Jeff Byron. He paid $6.30 to win.

Live racing resumes at Batavia Downs on Monday, July 30 with a nine-race card that kicks off at 5 p.m.
