Royal Shyster won the second $20,564 division of the New York Sire Stakes for two-year-old trotting colts and geldings in 2:01.3 to set a new track record on Friday night at Buffalo Raceway

.

The two-year-old Rc Royalty colt out of the Pine Chip mare Spin The Planet eclipsed the old record of 2:02.1, held by both Paddington (2005) and All In Tad (2010). It was the first Sire Stakes win for Royal Shyster, who is owned by Albert and Michelle Crawford, Annmari Daley, and Richard Lombardo.

Dan Daley, who campaigned the stallion Rc Royalty, trains Royal Shyster, a $14,000 Morrisville purchase last year.

“I’ve loved him from the get go,” said Daley. “I never even pulled the plugs on him, he did it so easy. He’s really going to be a good one.”

Daley returned to the winner’s circle after capturing the 10th race with Flyhawk Jester, the last Sire Stakes winner and third victory of the night out of six stakes races for Rc Royalty.

Flyhawk Jester (Rc Royalty-Graduation Party) went wire-to-wire in 2:03.1 for his second win in a row, having won a division of the Tompkins-Geers last week at Tioga.

The other Sire Stakes winners were, Studio City (John Wagner) in 2:04.2, Slugfest (Ray Schnittker) in 2:02.4, Abundanceofcredit (Sam Schillaci) in 2:03.3, and A Taste Of Victory (John Di Stefano) in 2:04.

Racing will resume on Saturday, July 23 with first race post time scheduled for 6:40 p.m.
