Track record set in $102,500 NYSS dash

Batavia, NY — Record breaking, total domination is the only way to describe the harness racing performance put on by My Debt Collector (Chapter Seven-Magic Presto) at Batavia Downs on Wednesday (Aug. 28) night who was absolutely peerless while winning the $102,500 New York Sire Stake for 2-year-old trotting fillies.

My Debt Collector’s time of 1:56.4 gave her a new lifetime record, set a new Batavia Downs track record for 2-year-old trotting fillies and established a national season’s mark for 2-year-old trotting fillies over a half-mile track. The previous mark of 1:58 was set by Chapvious in NYSS action at Yonkers Raceway on June 25.

Driver Jim Morrill Jr. sent My Debt Collector right to the front and extended his lead with every stride after that. My Debt Collector hit the quarter in :28.4 up by 2-¾ lengths, flew by the half in :57.4 leading by six, and extended that bulge to nine lengths as she passed three-quarters in 1:27 flat. With the other four fillies clearly no match, Morrill had My Debt Collector wrapped up and cruising as she hit the line in front by seven in 1:56.4.

It was the second straight win and third victory of the season – all in NYSS races – for My Debt Collector ($2.40) and increased her 2024 bankroll to $185,259, which now makes her the second richest 2-year-old trotting filly in North America behind only Canadian trotting standout, Monalishi ($273,125). My Debt Collector is owned by David Mc Duffee, Melvin Hartman and Little E, who also bred the filly in partnership with Herb Liverman.
