Batavia, NY — Jula Florence (Chapter Seven-Jula Shes Magic) sat a perfect pocket trip before striking late to score a narrow victory in the $110,200 New York Sire Stake for 2-year-old trotting fillies at Batavia Downs on Wednesday (Aug. 26) night.
Seveallisto (Leon Bailey) and Jula Florence (Tyler Miller) both left from mid-pack and lined up one-two in front of a full field of fillies who trotted to the quarter in :28.2. Seveallisto continued to dictate the fractions at the half when Anabella (Brett Beckwith) came calling first-over on the outside and drew alongside Jula Florence, and both just a length behind the leader.
Seveallisto led the girls through turn four where Anabella tailed off, affording Jula Florence room to tip off-cover at the top of the stretch. From there, Jula Florence trotted hard to make up over 1-½ lengths, catch Seveallisto and forge ahead late by a neck to win in 1:58.2.
It was the third win of the year, all in NYSS action, for Jula Florence ($4.48), who is owned by Andy Miller Stable, Windsong Stable and Dumain Haven Farm and trained by Julie Miller. Jula Racing was the winning breeder.
There were also two $20,000 NYSS Excelsior Series races on the card.
The first was won by Solar Queen (Met’s Hall-Supreme Seven, 2:00.3, $4.74 – Matt Kakaley/Rob Harmon) who is owned by Go For Glory Stable and Matthew Lamont and bred by WInbak Farm.
The second went to Native Pride (Chapter Seven-Oh My Goodness, 1:59.3, $2.44 – Jeff Gregory/George Ducharme) who is owned by FTM Racing Stable and bred by Blue Chip Bloodstock.
Live racing will resume at Batavia Downs on Thursday (Aug 27) at 5 p.m. and there will be a guaranteed pool $7,500 in the Pick-5 wager in the first race, in conjunction with the United States Trotting Association’s Strategic Wagering Program.
