Cowgirl Hanover simply dominated her competition in the $148,219 New York Sires Stake (NYSS) at Tioga Downs for two year-old pacing fillies in a geared down 1:54.1 romp.
Driver Jason Bartlett let the filly drift away from post five as the gate pulled away, confident that Cowgirl Hanover would find a tuck as the heavy 1-2 favourite, and he was correct.
The pair sat fourth as the Ray Schnittker-trained entry of Bronx Mixer (Schnittker) and Send It Down Slim (Mark Macdonald) lined up one-two with Bronx Mixer setting the early pace and stealing a slow second quarter to pass the half in :57.3.
As they set sail up the back, Jordan Stratton sent Shes A Streaker up to engage the leader with Cowgirl Hanover enjoying a sweet ride along behind that rival until her cover abruptly stalled, forcing Bartlett to quickly shift the winner into the three-path, which she handled like a pro, looped the competition and was gone in the blink of an eye.
Through the stretch, Bartlett was looking for things to do as Cowgirl Hanover continued on to the win; the official margin of three lengths could just as easily have been 10.
Send It Down Slim had good energy late once MacDonald shook her loose from behind her tiring stablemate and The Last Martini (Greg Merton) rallied for third.
Now unbeaten in four NYSS starts, Cowgirl Hanover, a daughter of Huntsville, is trained by Jared Bako for owner Bob DiNozzi as NY Seb Inc.
Moms Point, Love Trouble, Hint Of Spring and Fansville were all New York Excelsior winners on the undercard.
