Hamburg, NY -- The New York Sire Stakes 2010 season got under way at Buffalo Raceway in Hamburg, NY on Sunday, June 6. Three divisions of three-year-old filly pacers competed over the half mile oval for over $53,000.
In the first division Androvette owned by John DiSomma and Taylor Gower set a lifetime best of 1:59.2. Driver Pat Berry was happy sitting in the middle of the pack until the stretch when he went wide and cruised home to the finish. Truly A Treasure the pace setter throughout the race, was awarded second as Angel From Above was disqualified for interference at the 5/8 pole. V’La Faire finished third.
Regular Buffalo driver Jim McNeight guided Tia Maria Hanover to the winner’s circle in the second division. With Lady Major and Paper Princess dueling early, McNeight sat in the two hole through the first half and pulled out on the back stretch before the three quarter pole. Down the stretch it was a race for second as Tally Ho cruised by eventual third place finisher Chatty Kathy.
In the final division local horse It’s Only Roni took home the $26,527 purse in a photo over favorite Barks Like A Dog. Buffalo’s leading driver Jack Flanigen got Roni in front of Barks by a nose. Delightful Syd recovered from a break at the start to finish in the show spot.
