When trainer Anette Lorentzon bought trotting filly Quick Stop as a yearling at last fall’s Standardbred Horse Sale, it was with an eye toward the future. But the eye on the present is pleased with the purchase as well.
After winning New Jersey Sire Stakes championships earlier this year at The Meadowlands, three-year-olds Fashion Schooner and Pretender will return to The Big M on Friday hoping to add to their collections of trophies for state-sired trotters.
The Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey (SBOANJ) and The Meadowlands announced new three-year-old races for trotters sponsored by the SBOANJ that will serve as a lead in to the 2022 New Jersey Sires Stakes (NJSS).
Two horsemen stood out in front of the rest during the first weekend of racing at The Meadowlands in 2022 as driver Yannick Gingras recorded eight winners over the course of January 7-8 while trainer Mark Ford schooled four to victory lane.
