Tioga Downs hosted two divisions of the New York Sire Stakes (NYSS) for 2-year-old pacing fillies on Sunday (July 19).
ALbergita Hanover (Scott Zeron) romps in the $49,500 first division.
Rightfully Mine (Jason Bartlett) went to the front and led to a first quarter of :28.1. Summer Rae (Jim Morrill Jr.) took over the lead as they went by the stands for the first time and led to the half in :57.1. As they headed to the backstretch Albergita Hanover ($2.20) would make her move. She came first-over from fourth and took over the lead before hitting three-quarters in 1:25.0.
As they made the turn for home Albergita Hanover just destroyed the field coasting to her first career win. She won by 10 and a half lengths in 1:53.0. Rightfully Mine finished in second. Sea Of Love BC (Jim Marohn Jr.) was third best.
Albergita Hanover is a 2-year-old filly by Roll With Joe-Armbro Amoretto. She is trained by Linda Toscano for owners George Derocker, Seth Coen, Camelot Stable, and Decker's Corner Stable.
Think Of Galaxies (Mark MacDonald) is an upset winner in $50,400 second division.
DC Batgirl (Billy Dobson) went to the front and led to the first quarter in :28.1. As they were coming around the first turn Easy To Please (Jim Morrill Jr.) went to make a three-wide move and caused Test Of Faith (Jim Marohn Jr.) to go on a break for just a moment. This caused both fillies to back track. Think Of Galaxies ($20.40) was left in the open and then made her move taking the lead with a circuit to go. She led to the half in :56.1. As they headed for the final turn Easy To Please went first-up from third but she just didn't fire. Think Of Galaxies easily led to three-quarters in 1:24.4.
Think OF Galaxies then let it loose as they headed for home. It was then a battle for second as Think Of Galaxies glided home in 1:53.2. Test Of Faith finished second with Spicy Covina (Tyler Buter) getting third money.
Think Of Galaxies is a 2-year-old filly by So Surreal-Lightening D Dube. Trained by John McDermott for owners Jonathan Klee Racing and Peter Kleinhans. It was her first win in only her second career start.
