The richest race of the season at Saratoga Casino Hotel yielded a track record performance on Tuesday (July 20).
There was one division of the New York Sire Stakes for three-year-old colt and gelding trotters on Tuesday and the $156,600 race saw the favourite not only thrive but make history.
Ahundreddollarbill (Chapter Seven-Swinging Royalty) drew post seven in the eight-horse stakes event but driver Andrew McCarthy wasted very little time moving the 1-5 betting favourite out to the front end. The speedy sophomore powered through a first quarter in :27.1 before reaching the half in :56.1. The Tony Alagna trainee made it look easy as he cruised to a well-measured length and a half victory to record his sixth win in seven starts in 2021, tripping the timer in 1:54.
