Two-year-old pacing fillies will be featured on Monticello Raceway’s Monday afternoon card (August 29), as the program will feature a pair of $52,500 divisions of the New York Sire Stakes.

Owner Ken Jacobs will bring a strong duo of Planet Rock and Robin J to the fray – Planet Rock is the fastest filly of the bunch and Robin J is the richest.

Planet Rock will start from Post 4 for trainer Linda Toscano in the first of the NYSS splits, which has been carded as Race 1. The daughter of Rock N Roll Heaven has been flawless in pari mutuel competition thus far in her brief career. She has reeled off five consecutive wins in this company, with earning s of $97,665 with a speed badge of 1:52 taken at Vernon Downs. Tim Tetrick will drive the filly in the five-horse field. Roaring To Go, who has been unlucky at drawing inside post positions, will try to take advantage of the best post of her career (Post 3) for trainer Kevin Lare of Snow White fame. ‘Team Miller’ brings the respectable Pleasant Roll, a son of Rock With Joe that will start from Post 5.

In the second NYSS division (Race 8), which also features a field of five, Ken Jacobs will also be represented by another outstanding filly, Robin J. The Roll With Joe lass has shown brilliant closing speed, she comes into the race with respectable credentials – five wins in six lifetime starts and $131,605 in the bank. She is also trained by Linda Toscano, and will be driven by Tim Tetrick.

There will also be four heats of the Excelsior ‘A’s – with a purse of $15,000 – and three splits of the Excelsior ‘B,’ with a purse of $6,600.
