Hamburg, NY-- The
3-Year Old Colt & Geldings trotters make their mark on Buffalo Raceway on
Sunday with 6 out of the 16 entered being nominated for the 89th
Hambletonian.
Currently so far this season
2 track records have fallen at the hands of New York Sire Stakes horses. This
Sunday they will be going after the mark of 1:56 3/5 which has been tied once
already this season by veteran Lutetium.
The first of 2 New York Sire
Stakes takes place in race number 2. Cash Me Out (Cash Hall-China Victory) is
the 2/1 morning line favorite coming off a very nice win at Saratoga. This
gelding has won $213,412 so far in his career and always looks strong and close
to the pace. Cash Me Out driven by Michael Mc Givern has won 3 races this year
and is on a streak of 2 straight coming to Buffalo Raceway.
Expressive Action (Conway
Hall-Yetta's Angel) driven by Mike Simons is the 2nd choice in the
field at morning line odds of 5/2. This 3 year old colt is coming off a very
good front end trip at Saratoga and was a winner in the $215,125 Empire
Breeders Classic at Vernon Downs in 1:54 1/5. Its possible trainer John Grasso
could be gearing this one up for a shot at The Hambletonian in August.
The rest of the field
includes The Lindy Treaty (Ray Schnittker), Elegante Attire (Jeff Gregory),
Daley Lovin (Dan Daley), Mister Anson (Jim Morrill Jr.), Hallanet (Jim Mahron
Jr.), and High Q (Kevin Cummings).
The second division picks up
in Race 5, and looks equally as difficult as the first division. Gural Hanover
(Crazed-Givemearing) trained by Ron Burke is coming off an impressive NYSS
victory at Saratoga from an outside post just like he has today. Jim Morrill
Jr. picks up the line for the gelding who has hit the board in all 4 starts
this season.
Flyhawk El Durado (Conway
Hal-El Paso Gal) is trained by Mark Ford and stuck on the outside this
afternoon. He comes down from Mohawk Racetrack where he was a super horse in
the $250,332 Goodtimes elimination and got a tough trip off some hot fractions
in the Final. This colt has made over $350,000 so far and really seems to like
the ½ mile tracks.
The rest of the field
includes JS Trotting Bob (Jeff Gregory), Zoey De Vie (Phil Fluet), Consumer
Rate (Ray Schnittker), Karets (Ray Fisher Jr.), Rocky De Vie (Truman Gale), and
Crazolo (Jim Mahron Jr.)
There is also a set of
$12,500 Excelsior Series “A” for the 3-year-old colt and gelding trotters and
also a set of $6,600 Excelsior Series.
