Record breaking, total domination is the only way to describe the performance put on by My Debt Collecter at Batavia Downs on Wednesday night, Aug. 28 as she was absolutely peerless while winning the $138,514 New York Sire Stakes for two-year-old trotting fillies.
My Debt Collecter’s time of 1:56.4 gave her a new lifetime record, set a new Batavia Downs track record for two-year-old trotting fillies and established a North American season’s mark for two-year-old trotting fillies over a half-mile track. The previous mark of 1:58 was set by Chapvious in NYSS action at Yonkers Raceway on June 25.
Driver Jim Morrill Jr. sent My Debt Collecter right to the front and extended his lead with every stride after that. My Debt Collecter hit the quarter in :28.4 up by 2-3/4 lengths, flew by the half in :57.4 leading by six, and extended that bulge to nine lengths as she passed three-quarters in 1:27 flat. With the other four fillies clearly no match, Morrill had My Debt Collecter wrapped up and cruising as she hit the line in front by seven in 1:56.4.
The was the second straight win and third victory of the season – all in NYSS races – for My Debt Collecter ($2.40) and increased her 2024 bankroll to $253,538, which now makes her the second richest two-year-old trotting filly in North America behind only Canadian trotting standout, Monalishi ($372,500). My Debt Collecter (Chapter Seven-Magic Presto) is owned by David Mc Duffee, Melvin Hartman and Little E, who also bred the filly in partnership with Herb Liverman.
There were also two $27,027 Excelsior races on the card.
In the first, Flashchap (Chapter Seven-Wing Flash) won in 2:00.3 for driver Tyler Buter, trainer George Ducharme and owner Purple Haze Stable. John Cummins bred the winner.
The very next race, K J Title (E L Titan-Arent I Hanover) also won in 2:00.3 for driver Drew Monti, trainer Alex Giuliani and owner/breeder Scott Woogen.
