Yonkers Raceway Monday night hosted the New York Sire Stakes Pat Quaglietta Trot for two-year-old fillies.

Four divisions, worth $37,556, $37,556, $38,256 and $38,256, comprised the event.

Odds-on choice Goosebump Hanover (Jim Morrill, Jr., $3.30) - from post position four - slipped out late, went wide and won the opening grouping in 1:59.1. Credit to Thelimit (Sam Schillaci), who actually beat the winner to the outside, settled for second, a half-length behind. Royal Surprise (Dan Daley) was third

For Goosebump Hanover, a daughter of RC Royalty co-owned (as Burke Racing Stable LLC) by (trainer) Ron Burke, Joe DiScala, Jr., Crawford Farms and J And T Silva Stables, it was her third win in six seasonal starts.

The evening’s second Quaglietta event was strictly a two-lass affair, with pole-sitting Dizzy Broad (Morrill, Jr., $6.90) picking off 3-5 favourite Posterity (Charlie Norris) from the pocket in a life-best/night’s-fastest 1:58.1. The margin was a length-and-a-half, with Dazzling Dollars (Trond Smedshammer) a best-of-the-rest third.

For Dizzy Broad, a daughter of Broad Bahn co-owned (as Burke Racing Stable LLC) by (trainer) Burke, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, Frank Baldachino and Earl Smith, Jr., she’s now 3-for-5 in her first season.

Monday’s third sire stakes event was another two-speed number, with short-price miss Non Stick (Dan Dube, $2.80) handily besting Pampered Winner (Jimmy Takter). From post two, the people’s preference two-moved and won by 2-½ lengths in 1:59.4. Straight A Student (Mark MacDonald) was a rallying third.

For Non Stick, a daughter of Lucky Chucky co-owned (as Svanstedt Racing) by (trainer) Ake Svanstedt and Little E LLC, she’s a perfect 4-for-4 to begin her career.

The evening’s final statebred division was a maiden-breaker for Franniegetyourgun (Takter, $15.60). She sat pocketed from post two, then eased past Lima Playtime (Scott Zeron) by a length-and-a-quarter in 1:59.2. Lucky Kristen (Brian Sears) was third.

For Franniegetyourgun, a Lucky Chucky miss trained by her driver for her driver’s wife, Christina, Herb Holland, Serafino Barone and Steve Bitlisli, is was that first win in four frosh tries.
