Fillies will begin their NYSS careers in Buffalo

HAMBURG, New York –— It has to start somewhere and that somewhere will be Buffalo Speedway Wednesday afternoon (June 19), as eight of the nine fillies entered in the pair of $51,000 (approx.) divisions of the New York Sire Stakes will launch their careers in harness racing.

The two rich events will open the program of 13 races which will begin at 2:30 p.m. A field of four will compete in the first race while five ladies head out the gate to complete the daily double in the second race.

Huntsville will send six products to the NYSS competition while Courteous choice, Boston Red Rocks And American ideal everyone has one.

American beach dream (American ideal-Preakness) is the only starter in the NYSS field with a race under her belt, a head victory on June 11 in 2:00.0 at Harrah’s Philadelphia. For everything else, it’s a new start but at five or less in the two rounds of the competition, everyone will leave with a failure.

The first race consists of four under the name Calamity Hour (Huntsville-Also encouraging) arrives undefeated in his two qualifiers at Pocono Downs. Trainee Deborah Daguet will start from second position with Jason Bartlett scheduled to drive.

Lightning Chance (Courteous choice-Admirals Chance) designed the rail for driver Jordan Stratton. She showed good closing kicks in her two narrow second-place finishes during her Pocono qualifying and should love the long straight at Buffalo Raceway.

Send it Slim (Huntsville-Rockinsangria) scored a victory in the prep race at Saratoga Raceway in 1:59.3 on June 11. Mark MacDonald is expected to run it for coach Ray Schnittker.

The other participant is Commonwealth Ave (Boston Red Rocks-Delightful Play) who qualified at Vernon Downs.

The second division has the so-called veteran Americanbeachdream who has already tasted victory. The other four participants had at least one try on the Pocono Downs course with Cowgirl Hanover (Huntsville-Code One Hanover) achieves a perfect 2 for 2 while

Martini Star clocked a 3-1/4 length score in 1:57.0

Others in the second tranche include Cervi (Huntsville-Limestone Cowgirl) and back door cover (Huntsville-Ghosttothepost).

There will be three $20,000 Excelsior Series divisions for 2-year-old fillies and all 18 will make their debut.
