Jackpot awaits in NYSS at Buffalo Raceway
At 0h04, on July 5, 2023 • By BUFFALO
There’s a huge jackpot awaiting at the finish line at Buffalo Raceway on Wednesday afternoon (July 5) as a field of five colt and gelding 2-year-old trotters go for a $102,500 purse in the New York Sire Stakes. The main event goes off as the seventh on the 13-race program which gets underway at 2:30 p.m.
Chaplind (Chapter Seven-Lindys Head Nurse) headlines the select field. Coming off a 1-3/4 length win in 1:59.3 at Yonkers Raceway in a $77,300 division of the New York Sire Stakes on June 22, he’ll score from the five post for driver/trainer Trond Smedshammer. Owned by Purple Haze Stables from nearby Fairport, N.Y., Chaplind collected $38,650 for his maiden victory and could take home $51,250 which would really skyrocket his bankroll in just two career attempts.
A pair of horses who were in the same NYSS leg at Yonkers as Chaplind hope to right the ship this time around. Voss Blue Chip (E L Titan-Angelita Hanover) and Blantons Blue (Chapter Seven-Bill’s Lady) both broke stride and lost all chances, finishing fifth and sixth, respectively.
Voss Blue Chip (Matt Kakaley) will start from the two post with Blantons Blue (Anthony MacDonald) beginning from the four hole.
