Down Under winners with Carter Dalgety

New Zealand Derby Winner debuts in winning style in north America.

Monday night harness racing action at Yonkers raceway was a pleasing night out for Down Under trainer Peter Tritton when former top Down Under pacer Sheriff N won his first race in North America from just his second start. Sheriff N was driven hard out of the starting gate by driver Daniel Dude and found the front early which allowed the pair to dictated terms and then pull away for an easy victory and clocking 1:53.2 around the half mile (800m) track in cold conditions.

The result of the $17,500 pace was also a Down Under trifecta with Keen On Rocking A finishing in 2nd and Kerford Road A in third.

Sheriff N a son of Bettor’s Delight raced a very successful down under career by winning 7 races from just the 18 starts and banking over $200,000 in prize money. He currently holds a New Zealand record for scoring the fastest winning time over the distance of 2600m when clocking 3.05.4, making that a 1.54.7. Absolutley blistering for the long distance. This time was clocked in his biggest career victory in the Group 1 New Zealand Derby for 3yos in April 2018.
