Preparation for the August classic is now beginning to reach
full swing, with two divisions of the $124,800 New York Sires Stakes (NYSS) for fillies at
Tioga Downs on Monday, June 23, and two divisions for colts of the Ontario Sires Stakes
(ONSS) at Mohawk Racetrack on Tuesday, June 24.
The opening division of the NYSS features three hopefuls,
Lindys Crazy Dolly, Slice Slice Baby and Glowngold. Yet, the interesting gal in
this field is Maud Blue Chip. She makes her second start off of a month layoff,
as well as her second start with Lasix. Since her debut was at Buffalo, it can be tossed out, since a half-mile oval may not be ideal for a return.
She’ll start from post 5 and hopefully travel a better mile.
Market Rally highlights the second division, coming off an
easy win against NYSS competition, the "Oaks" hopeful will likely take a majority
of the wagering. The other eligible, Beauty Of Gray, appears to be her main
threat, traveling first over to finish second in her NYSS division last week.
She draws the rail, allowing her to go an easy mile to try and defeat the NYSS
freshman champion.
Only one division of the ONSS features eligible colts. The duo in
that division is comprised of Entranced and O Narutac Perfetto, who might be
the best of the bunch in the second split.
