Sire Art Major had two pacers in Tuesday night’s (July 28) New York Sire Stakes (NYSS) divisions at Yonkers Raceway for three-year-old pacing colt and geldings and both came away victorious.
In the $75,900 first division, Major Betts led all the way to a two-and-a-half lengths score in 1:51.1. Dexter Dunn was the winning driver for trainer Mark Harder and owners Jannuzzelli, Harder and Frost.
Major Betts started in the Meadowlands Pace Final in his last race but the return to NYSS action got him back to the winner’s circle.
In the $77,300 second division, Genius Man got up by a nose in an eventful stretch battle in 1:52.3. Save Me A Dance was second with Splash Brother a neck back in third.
Marcus Miller drove the Art Major gelding to victory for trainer Erv Miller and owners Michelon and Plouffe.
Racing at Yonkers Raceway continues Thursday and Friday night this week, first-race post time is 7:12 p.m. (EDT).
