The New York Sires Stakes program returns to Monticello Raceway on Monday (July 19) when 2-year-old pacing fillies will highlight the 13-race card with more than $180,000 in purses. Post time is 12:10 p.m.
On the program, there are three splits of NYSS racing for a purse of $34,200 each, four dashes of Excelsior A ($15,000) and two heats of the Excelsior B ($6,700).
The first division of Sire Stakes action starts in race eight. Reenactment (post six) was a winner last start at Harrah’s Philadelphia, scoring in 1:56.1 for trainer Linda Toscano. Scott Zeron will drive. Su Su Sussudio (post five) took a mark of 1:59 by virtue of her win in the Landmark Stakes at Goshen. She will be driven by Renaldo Morales III.
The second heat is a seven-horse field. Just Divine (Yannick Gingras) will score from the rail. The $160,000 yearling has been installed the 5-2 morning line favorite. The daughter of Huntsville was second last start at The Meadowlands, pacing her mile in 1:51.3 and her last quarter was an eye popping :25.3. A Girl That Twirls (Simon Allard) won her NYSS division at Buffalo in a dead heat in 1:55.2 in her last start and will score from post five for trainer James Lackey.
In the last division of Sire Stakes, Twenty Grand will start from the outside post seven for trainer Ray Schnittker, with Mark MacDonald handling the driving chores.
