Chapvious Leads NYSS Standings at Buffalo – US Trotting News

Hamburg, NY — Chapvious has already tasted victory in the New York Sire Stakes for 2-year-old trotting fillies and she will hope to experience that delicious feeling again as she leads the full field of eight in the $108,200 event at Buffalo Raceway on Wednesday afternoon (July 3).

Scheduled for the seventh race, Chapvious (Devious Man-Chaperess) earned her first win in her debut race by scoring a neck decision in the $74,500 NYSS at Yonkers Raceway. She wore down Royal Mission in the stretch and earned the neck score in 1:58 on June 25.

Owned by Purple Haze Stables of Fairport, NY, Chapvious is trained by George Ducharme and will be driven by Jason Bartlett from post five.

On The Radio (Chapter Seven-Kathy Parker) shot the inside post for coach Annie Stoebe. She finished eight lengths behind Chapvious in her only outing at Yonkers but hopes the better draw will narrow the gap.

Smoke Show (Credit Winner-Ryan’s Bad Girl) recorded a neck-and-neck victory in the $20,000 Excelsior Series at Yonkers in 2:02.4. Trained by Julie Miller, Smoke Show is expected to start from post six.

Others in the field include Sister Lo (Mark MacDonald), DW’s Lady Diva (Kevin Cummings), Devious Babe, Sister Mary Mavis (Bruce Euto) and R Maddie.

There will be a pair of $20,000 races in the Excelsior Series for young ladies as well as the Class A-Open Pace Handicap for fillies and mares.

There are 11 races scheduled with the first start Wednesday scheduled for 2:30 p.m. There is an $861 carryover in the Pick-5 that begins in the second race.
