Tuesday afternoon’s card at Saratoga Casino Hotel featured New York Sire Stakes action for two year old trotting fillies.
There were three divisions for the freshman trotters that went for purses of between $47,000 and $49,000.
Gertrude (Devious Man-Ophelia) made her lifetime debut a winning one in impressive fashion in the first stakes race of the day. Andy Miller piloted the freshman filly for trainer Julie Miller and wasted no time moving out to the early lead with her. The race’s 3-5 betting favourite, Gertrude went coast-to-coast in 1:57.4 highlighted by a final half in :57.4 en route to breaking her maiden in her first career start.
