NYSS 3yotc Set To Invade Buffalo
This Wednesday night’s 13-race card at Buffalo Raceway features a sextuplet of New York Sire Stakes for three-year-old trotting colts. More than $150,000 in purses will be on the line in the six divisions.
The feature dash will be Race 8, as four of the seven entrants have already captured a sire stakes victory this season. Trainer Ray Schnittker’s Whitewater Rapids and Dream Lake for owner-trainer Don Wiest captured their divisions at Monticello Raceway. Sing Out from the George Teague barn and Petruchio, trained by Linda Toscano, won at Yonkers Raceway last week.
In the fourth race, start of the mid-double, Major Skirmish for trainer-driver Dan Daley will look to recapture the form he had at Buffalo as a two-year-old when he finished second, his best of the year. Also in the fourth is All In Tad who has a pair of second-place finishes in NYSS action this year.
The second half of the mid-double will have a pair of locally-trained horses. Turtle Express, trained by Bobbi Martin, and Serious George from the Rich Mays Stable will look for some home-track advantage. The Credit Winner colt Keenan, who has taken each of his two NYSS divisions, drew the far outside seven hole.
The three other divisions have been carded as Race 2, 7 and 10.
