Vernon Downs will kick off its first Wednesday racing card
on July 11, and will feature two divisions of New York Sire Stakes for 3-year-old colt trotters.
15 sophomore trotters dropped in for Wednesday's event,
and it looks as if the two toughest drew separate divisions.

Ray Schnittker's, Delano,
drew post position number five in the first division going for $66,718.
The
3-year-old son of Credit Winner – Kelly Hall is coming in off of back-to-back
wins in NYSS capturing legs at Buffalo
and Yonkers Raceway. The colt has won all three NYSS events he has
participated in this year with earnings of more than $115,000. Schnittker and Delano have been given the
nod as the 5-2 morning line favorite in race number seven.
In the second division, 2-1 morning line favorite
Coraggioso, opted not to go to the Yonkers Trot this past weekend and will look for his fifth win of the season on
Wednesday evening.
The 3-year-old son of Conway Hall – Electra Hanover was
second to Archangel in the EBC Final at Vernon Downs on June 1st.
Trainer-driver, Phil Fluet, will once again do the driving on Coraggioso for
the partnership of Spadaro and Durkin from post position number two.
