NYSS dash for $106,300 at Tioga Downs

Stablemates Gangsta Talk (Chapter Seven-Gangsta Rat, Ake Svanstedt) and Happy Jack B (Chapter Seven-Exotic Form, Tyler Buter) lead a group of seven 2-year-old harness racing trotting colts & geldings battling for the lion’s share of the $106,300 purse for the lone division of the New York Sire Stakes on Sunday (August 4) at Tioga Downs.

Gangsta Talk should be the one to beat.  The colt is trained by Ake Svanstedt.  He has two wins and a second in three lifetime starts.  He has NYSS wins at both Yonkers and Saratoga and has already accumulated almost $90,000 in purses.

Svanstedt also trains Happy Jack B.  He has finished second twice in three starts.  He was runner-up in NYSS legs at Vernon and Yonkers.

The other five competitors haven’t done better than third in their lifetime starts.

The 12-race card also features two divisions of the New York Excelsior “A” Series.  Post time is 1:00 p.m.
