Trainer Peter Arrigenna, fresh off his win in the Yonkers Trot with Archangel, just might have another top trotter in his barn as his two-year-old freshman colt Timothy Patrick lowered the Buffalo Raceway track record in the first $40,291 New York Sire Stakes division on Friday night.

Timothy Patrick stopped the clock in 2:01.2, which eclipses the former record of 2:01.3 set last year by Royal Shyster.

The win was the first for Timothy Patrick ($4.10), who was masterfully driven by Jim Morrill Jr. Timothy Patrick is a homebred by Arrigenna, who bred the new stallion Crazed to his NYSS champion Princess Deanna, which makes Timothy Patrick a half-brother to another NYSS champion, Tuesdays With Mom (2010).

“He was acting up and playing in the post parade, but when it came time to race, he was all business," said Morrill. “He really only trotted with meaning from the three-quarter pole to the top of the stretch. There’s no telling how good he can be.”

Morrill put Timothy Patrick right on the lead from post five, and he set all the fractions in the race -- :30.3, 1:00.2, and 1:32. A :29.2 last quarter-mile put the winner three and a quarter lengths ahead of second place finisher Insider Access (Phil Fluet). Noble Flight (Stephane Bouchard) came in third.

The other NYSS winners were Therapeutic ($5.90), by Crazed out of the Yankee Glide mare Psychotherapist, timed in 2:01.3 with Morrill at the controls; and Royalty For Life (RC Royalty-Bourbon N Grits), driven by Vernon regular Chris Lems, who stopped the timer in 2:02.2, and paid $27 to win.

Racing will resume on Saturday, July 14 with first post scheduled for 6:40 p.m. eastern time. It’s Back To The Track night with tons of prizes and activities for everyone.
