The New York Sire Stakes continues to march through Buffalo Raceway, as two-year-old pacing fillies will get the opportunity to strut their stuff in a pair of $54,000 divisions on Wednesday night (July 3).
The divisions have been carded as the fourth and sixth races on the 12-dash program. First-race post time will be at 5 p.m. Most of the ‘babies’ will be in action for just the second time in their young careers, but three have already tasted victory.
So Rude (So Surreal-A Am A Snob) tops the field in the first division and will score from the six post for Matt Kakaley. She made her debut on June 24 at Monticello Raceway and registered a three-quarter-length win in 1:57.3 in the New York Sire Stakes. So Rude covered the final panel in :27.4 while rallying for the victory, and with the long Buffalo Raceway home stretch on the horizon, she should be a serious factor late.
Precious Alexis, by Art Major-Put On A Display, will start from the eight post and will get the services of Jim Morrill Jr. She lost a heart-breaking neck decision in her first try at Monticello Raceway to Hidden Cove in the NYSS.
Sugaronthebeach (Kevin Cummings), The Fun Marshall (Billy Davis Jr.), Kitty Hoyne (Jimmy Whittemore) and American Chance (Jonathan Drury) are entered and each have started in the NYSS in their career debuts.
Spreckles (Drew Monti) will arrive fresh off her maiden victory in the Excelsior ‘A’ Series at Monticello in 1:59. Fashion Hill (Tyler Buter) rounds out the full field of eight.
The other bracket has Racine Bell, by So Surreal-Tys Artist, who has been tabbed as the 3-1 favourite from the seven post with Cummings in the bike. She collected her first career win back on June 7 in a maiden race by three and a quarter lengths at Vernon Downs in 1:56.1. She then travelled to Monticello on June 24 where she suffered a tough one and a half-length setback to Cash Roll in the NYSS.
The highly competitive field also includes the Scott Di Domenico entry of Bolt Of Speed (Kakaley) and Bottle Of Red (Monti) along with Rare Jimstone (Morrill Jr.), Galleria Gal (Buter), Movie Town (Drury), Roll With Angel (Ray Fisher Jr.) and Jackies Express (Whittemore).
The day's action will kick off at 4:30 p.m. with a non-betting race in the Excelsior ‘B’ Series, while a $15,000 division in the Excelsior ‘A’ Series will open the program in the first.
