July 24, 2014,from Saratoga Casino and Raceway
Saratoga Springs, NY — Market Rally broke the track record for 3-year-old trotting fillies on Wednesday night (July 23) at Saratoga Casino and Raceway by capturing her $91,550 division of the New York Sire Stakes.
Market Rally (Cash Hall-Supreme Dish) came into Wednesday’s Sire Stake on a three race win streak since the addition of Lasix.
The Ron Burke-trained filly made an early move to the lead for driver Jim Morrill Jr. and the race’s 1-9 betting favorite would never look back. Market Rally drew away from her competition to win in 1:55.4 over a track labeled good.
The win time broke the track mark set by Munis Blue Chip (Ray Schnittker) in August 2012.
The other $91,550 Sire Stakes on the card was won by Driving Miss Crazy and trainer-driver Gates Brunet.
Driving Miss Crazy (Crazed-Schare Hall) went wire-to-wire, hanging on to prevail in 1:57.2 at odds of 9-2.
New York Sire Stakes action will return to Saratoga next Wednesday night when 2-year-old filly pacers square off at the Spa.
Live racing continues on Thursday night at Saratoga with a first post time set for 7:05 p.m.
