Yonkers Raceway hosted two divisions of New York Sires Stakes for three-year-old trotting fillies Tuesday evening (Aug. 11) and the pylons were the place to start from in both divisions.
In the first division, a $73,100 four-horse race held before the wagering card, Love A Good Story relinquished the lead early from post 1 to No Mas Drama, but then brushed by that rival and drew away to a length-and-a-half score in 1:55.2.
Love A Good Story is a daughter of Chapter Seven and remains a perfect four-for-four in New York Sires Stakes action for Andy and Julie Miller and the ownership group of Pinske Stables, Kentuckiana Racing Stable and Daniel Plouffe.
Chapter Seven continues to lead the way for trotting sires in this year’s New York Sire Stakes, with 83 wins in 184 starters and surpassed earnings of more than $1 million in the series.
In the second division, Race 2 on the card, Without A Warning was bet down to 2-5 favouritism from post 1 and was an easy two-and-three-quarter length winner in 1:55.1. Scott Zeron drove the daughter of RC Royalty to victory for trainer George Ducharme and owner Raymond W J Campbell Jr.
The $1.8 million New York Sire Stakes Night of Champions will be Saturday, Sept. 12 at Yonkers Raceway.
Yonkers continues a four-day racing schedule, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays with a first post of 7:12 p.m. (EDT).
