In just the second start of her career, Erv Miller trainee Dame Frances fired first-up on the rim to the last turn and kicked by pace-setter Banana Beach to win the $80,000 Kentucky Sire Stakes (KYSS) final for 2-year-old pacing fillies under wraps in a track-record 1:50 4/5 mile on Monday (July 13) at Oak Grove Racing, Gaming & Hotel.

Nordic Catcher S did not look like a horse who was coming off a 345-day layoff, as the 2025 Hambletonian winner, who had not raced since that million dollar day, was ready for the $27,500 featured fast-class handicap trot at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania on Tuesday afternoon, winning in 1:51. The time was only two-fifths of a second off the 13-year-old divisional track and world record of Uncle Peter.
Monticello Raceway welcomed the 3-year-old pacing fillies from the New York Sire Stakes circuit to town on Monday afternoon for a pair of divisions that were won by Liberty Style (Jason Bartlett) and Odds On Monetary (Matt Kakaley).
