Courts On Fire takes $85,000 NYSS event

Last year’s New York Sire Stakes champion Courts On Fire (Courtly Choice-Ashlee’s Spitfire) picked up where he left off from his superstar freshman harness racing campaign on Sunday afternoon when the Blake Macintosh trainee posted a 1:52.2 score in an $85,500 even for three year old pacing colts and geldings.

Courts On Fire cruised on the engine for Brett Beckwith to record a two and a quarter length victory.
