Juvenile NYSS Fillies To Buffalo

Two-year-old trotting fillies will arrive at Buffalo Raceway on Wednesday night (June 26) for the New York Sire Stakes, and for most of the entrants it will be the first time that they will face the starting gate with money on the line.

A total of 26 juveniles have been entered and have been split into a quartet of $26,000 (approx.) divisions, and only four of the entrants have made a pari-mutuel start. The sires of the damsels will be looking for bragging rights as well as Conway Hall and Chapter Seven each have seven offspring entered.

Leading the way in the first division is Rasta Blue Chip (Here Comes Herbie-Winning Jonlin). The Gareth Dowse trainee was a $30,000 purchase at Lexington. The 3-1 morning line choice drew the four post with Jim Morrill Jr. in the bike. The remainder of the field includes Starrystarrynight (Scott Zeron), Soprese (Dan Daley), Seeking Royalty (John Calabrese), Bradylicious (Tyler Buter) and C Me Hyde (Phil Fluet).

The second bracket will feature the 2-1 pick in Charlotte Chaplin (Chapter Seven-Anklets Aweigh). She was a $65,000 buy at the Harrisburg sale and will score from the rail for driver Scott Zeron. Others involved will include Tipsy Gypsy (Buter), Forever N Ever (Charlie Norris), Tapupu (Fluet), Hushabye (Morrill Jr.) and Seducedbycredit (Ray Fisher Jr.).

The third division will feature a couple of high-priced starters. Love A Good Story (Chapter Seven-Celebrity Lovin) was sold for $90,000 at the Lexington sale and will get the six post. Andy Miller will guide her for trainer Julie Miller. Reciprocalbluechip (Chapter Seven-Fricton) went for $65,000 at Lexington and will fire off the gate from the four spot for driver/trainer Norris. The leg will also feature Without A Warning (Zeron), Evanna (Drew Monti), Askmenoquestions (Fluet), Destined To Dream (Morrill Jr.) and Smooth Affair (Buter).

The last division features Illdoitmyself (Chapter Seven-Dornello) as the 3-1 choice beginning from the two hole for Zeron. Trained by Rick Zeron, Illdoitmyself made up 15 lengths with a quarter mile to go in a qualifier at Pocono on June 12 and captured in the victory by three quarters of a length in 1:58.4. Other involved will be Lady Jeter (Daley), DWs Aubrey (Morrill Jr.), Mamas Gift (Jimmy Whittemore), Tupelo Honey (Ed Lohmeyer), Really Blue Chip (Anthony MacDonald and Sweet Sofie T (Norris).

The 13-race program will begin at 5 p.m. and will also feature a pair of $15,000 Excelsior ‘A’ events and one $6,800 Excelsior ‘B’ race.
