Yonkers: Art Major offspring take both NYSS divisions Tuesday

Sire Art Major had two pacers in Tuesday night's New York Sire Stakes divisions for 3-year-old colt and gelding pacers and both came away victorious.

In the $75,900 first division, Major Betts led all the way to a two-and-a-half length score in 1:51 1/5 over Ideal Perception and Groovy Joe. Dexter Dunn was the winning driver for trainer/co-owner Mark Harder and owners Joseph Jannuzzelli and Deena Frost.

Major Betts started in the Meadowlands Pace Final in his last race but the return to NYSS action got him back to the winner's circle.

In the $77,300 second division, Genius Man got up by a nose in an eventful stretch battle in 1:52 3/5. Save Me A Dance was second, with Splash Brother a neck back in third.

Marcus Miller drove the Art Major gelding to victory for trainer Erv Miller and owners Ronald Michelon and Daniel Plouffe.

Racing at Yonkers Raceway continues Thursday and Friday night this week, first race is 7:12pm
