Goosebump Hanover (sired by RC Royalty) broke the track record for two-year-old trotting fillies at Saratoga Casino and Raceway on Wednesday night.
The freshman filly came to town off of back-to-back victories in the New York Sire Stakes and was the public’s even-money favourite on Wednesday as she looked to 'three-peat.'
Jim Morrill Jr. piloted Goosebump Hanover for trainer Ron Burke and moved the filly out to the early lead. She was met with a host of challengers in the stretch, but held on to win in 1:57.2, a new track record for two-year-old filly trotters.
Morrill and Burke teamed up for another NYSS win on the night as their Dizzy Broad (by Broad Bahn) scored in wire-to-wire fashion in 1:58.2 in her $48,941 stakes try.
Jimmy Takter's Pampered Winner (by Credit Winner) prevailed in the evening’s third and final of the big stakes races for two-year-old filly high-steppers as she stopped the timer in 1:59 for her second victory of the season.
