Love A Good Story (Andy Miller) and Reba Blue Chip (Verlin Yoder) are set to face off this Saturday (July 11) at Vernon Downs during New York Sire Stakes action for three-year-old trotting fillies.
Love A Good Story, by Chapter Seven, is coming off of a solid second-place finish to Hypnotic AM in the Empire Breeders Classic last Saturday at Vernon. She won her other start in 2020 at Tioga Downs in a leg of the NYSS. Love A Good Story is trained by Julie Miller. She has recorded eight wins from 12 career starts and has won more than $310,000.
Reba Blue Chip, also by Chapter Seven, has won three of her four sophomore starts. Her only defeat this year also came to Hypnotic AM in a NYSS race at Tioga Downs. Yoder trains Reba Blue Chip, who has notched wins in six of her nine career.
The fillies' major danger comes in the form of the Jenn Bongiorno-trained No Mas Drama, who is scheduled to be driven by Joe Bongiorno. The Muscles Yankee filly is in search of her first sophomore victory. She finished third in the EBC last week and was second best to Love A Good Story during a leg of the NYSS at Tioga Downs. She has notched two lifetime wins and banked just under $100,000 in purses.
Saturday's 15-race card will start at 1:10 p.m.
