Vernon’s Thursday NYSS Preview
The New York Sires Stakes two-year-old trotting fillies will bring their act to Vernon Downs for Thursday's races. Two full fields of nine will face the starter and will skirmish for $54,562 per division.
Race 6 is the first division and features a pair of fillies from the Dan Daley barn racing as a coupled entry. Exotic Form is by Malabar Man and trained by Daley for Winbak Farms. She has won twice during NYSS action and has recorded two wins in 2:00.3 over Batavia Downs and Saratoga Raceway, respectively. Claude Huckabone III will drive her, while Daley has the mount on her entry mate.
Flyhawk Falina (by Cash Hall) has also won twice and picked up more than $75,000 on the year for owners Joe Pennacchio, Ann-Mari Daley and Mike White.
Maud Blue Chip leads the second split for Hall of Fame trainer Chuck Sylvester. The Credit Winner lass has more than $87,000 in the bank for Mel Hartman, David McDuffee and Little E, LLC on the season on the strength of three wins in NYSS competition. Tyler Buter is listed to drive on Thursday.
Three divisions of Excelsior events for the same division support the NYSS races.
