Vernon Downs will host two divisions of the New York Sire Stakes (NYSS) for sophomore trotting fillies on Memorial Day, May 30. Valentina Blu (Andrew McCarthy) is the 2-1 morning line favorite in the $60,300 first division. The 3-year-old filly by Chapter Seven surged late to capture her first start of the 2022 season in a leg of the NYSS at Yonkers Raceway. She is owned by Crawford Farms Racing and trained by Tony Alagna. As a freshman she had a win, six seconds and two thirds. The filly has won over $360,000 in her career.
