With only a handful of starts among this relatively even group, it could be anyone\u2019s race to win as these fast developing freshmen can throw a big mile at any time from week to week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The oddsmaker\u2019s choice is the two-for-one entry of Bargain (Chapter Seven-Batoutahill) and Keep Asking (Chapter Seven-Sensibility).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bargain has two wins and a second in three starts this year while showing versatility over three different size tracks. One of those wins&nbsp;was a victory in the $77,300 NYSS at Yonkers in his first career outing in 1:59.1. The following week he lowered his lifetime mark of 1:56.4 at the Meadowlands,&nbsp;closing in :27.3 in the $20,000 event. His current earnings of $62,525 have him listed as the sixth richest 2-year-old male trotter in North America and he is poised to add to that total in this race. Bargain likes the front-end and leaving from post four, should definitely be in charge of this group from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">James McDonald will steer Bargain for trainer Nancy Takter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keep Asking has yet to win in two starts but recovered nicely after an early break in his first start to finish second in the NYSS at Yonkers and then bounced back with a fourth place, 1:56 clocking at Tioga Downs where he was parked for the better part of the mile. Post seven may be a tough task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jim Morrill Jr. will be in the bike behind Keep Asking for trainer George Ducharme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big threat will be looming from Situationship (Chapter Seven-Meegan Hall) who made a big three-wide move at three-quarters last week in the NYSS at Tioga, where he finished second in 1:55.1 off a :28.4 final quarter. Situationship has displayed extreme closing speed in two 2-year-old non-betting events this year at Meadowlands and will be stalking the leader in the last stages of this race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trainer Ake Svanstedt will also be driving Situationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are also three $20,000 Excelsior divisions in races two, four and six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Post time for the first race is 6 p.m. The races can be viewed free and live at the Batavia Downs Facebook page and free full past performance programs can always be downloaded for every live race card from the Batavia Downs website (<a href=\"https:\/\/na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbataviadownsgaming.com%2F&amp;data=05%7C01%7C%7Cbfd871d8fe2e43f1aa7b08db8d163bdd%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638258898888289129%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=mUaIr%2FRhWzUKA7dsWs9x%2BXa8L75JOZ9xpcirnWlYWdY%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bataviadownsgaming.com<\/a>) under the live racing tab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tim Bojarski, for Batavia Downs (Photo of Bargain by Mike Lizzi) Batavia, NY &#8212; The New York Sire Stakes will be on hand at Batavia Downs for opening night of the 2023 summer\/fall season on Wednesday (July 26) when seven 2-year-old trotting colts and geldings line up for a \u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"continue-reading-button\"> <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/videonewsservice.net\/index.php\/2023\/07\/25\/genesee-county-single-106300-nyss-division-to-be-contested-at-batavia-wednesday\/\">Continue reading<i class=\"crycon-right-dir\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44954,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[8],"tags":[376],"class_list":["post-44953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-batavia","tag-batavia-downs"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p8eTP4-bH3","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":45019,"url":"https:\/\/videonewsservice.net\/index.php\/2023\/07\/26\/genesee-county-bargain-scores-in-106300-nyss-at-batavia\/","url_meta":{"origin":44953,"position":0},"title":"GENESEE COUNTY\/Bargain scores in $106,300 NYSS at Batavia","author":"aka","date":"July 26, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"By Tim Bojarski, for Batavia Downs (Photo courtesy of Wendy J.
