Nichols, NY — Stablemates Gangsta Talk (Ake Svanstedt) and Happy Jack B (Tyler Buter) lead a group of seven 2-year-old trotting colts and geldings in search of the $106,300 leg of the New York Sire Stakes on Sunday (Aug. 4) at Tioga Downs.
Gangsta Talk should be the one to beat. The son of Chapter Seven-Gangsta Rat is trained by Ake Svanstedt. He has two wins and a second in three lifetime starts. He has NYSS wins at both Yonkers and Saratoga and has already accumulated almost $90,000 in purses.
Svanstedt also trains Happy Jack B, a son of Chapter Seven-Exotic Form. He has finished second twice in three starts. He was a runner-up in NYSS legs at Vernon and Yonkers.
The other five competitors haven’t done better than third in their lifetime starts.
The 12-race-card also features two divisions of the New York Excelsior “A” Series.
