Shes A Streaker streaks to new track record

Monticello, NY (August 5, 2025) – Yet another harness racing track record was established at Monticello during the Sire Stakes season yesterday afternoon. Shes A Streaker erased the old mark of Romantic Moment of 1:52.3 set in 2012 with a half-length win over the 1-9 favorite The Last Martini in the final strides in 1:52.2.

The eight-horse field contest was worth $121,800. The 14-1 Fansville (C. Kelly) set torrid fractions with the opening panel in 26.2 and the half in 55.2. At this juncture, the 1-9 favorite The Last Martini started her first over trip followed by Shes a Streaker. Passing the next station in 1:23.1 The Last Martini had collared the pace setter Fansville in the paddock turn to grab the lead. She looked like a clear winner, but Shes a Streaker (M. Kakaely) exploded in the final strides to snatch the win away from the Last Martini with Mrs Cheese (M. Kakaley) getting up for third. For Shes a Streaker (Huntsville – Mikala Rose) this was her third Sire Stakes win of the year for trainer Ron Burke.
