MANALAPAN,
NJ – October 29, 2014 – Angels Ransom not only won the $25,000 New Jersey Sire
Stakes – Green Acres Final for three-year-old trotters but did so in stakes record
time on Thursday, October 29, 2014 at Freehold Raceway.
The
autumn air must agree with the gelded son of Revenue – Queen of Angels, who now
has two straight wins to improve his 2014 record to five wins, three seconds
and two thirds in 16 starts.
George
Brennan was at the lines of Angels Ransom, who crossed the wire in 1:56.4, with
a last quarter in 28.3 seconds. It was five and a quarter lengths back to
Choco Sun [Chocolatier] in second and Holiday Spirit [Chocolatier] in third.
Angels
Ransom, trained by Roland Mallar, eclipsed the Green Acres record for
three-year-old gelded trotters of 1:58 set by Spat One [Malabar Man] in 2002
and bested the colt mark of 1:57 established by Watch Out [Malabar Man] in
2004.
Bred
and owned by Michael Andrew of Gorham, ME, Angels Ransom has banked $58,150
this year and $70,760 lifetime.
The
Green Acres Final was contested as a non-wagering event prior to the card.
