Unbeaten Chapvious heads NYSS at Tioga

Tioga Downs plays host to two harness racing divisions of the New York Sire Stakes (NYSS) for 2-year-old trotting fillies on Sunday (July 14).

Royal Mission (Chapter Seven – Swinging Royalty) and driver Matt Kakaley are the 5-2 morning line favorite in the $54,500 first Division.  The filly is trained by Marcus Melander.  She finished a close second in her only lifetime start in a leg of the NYSS at Yonkers.

Her toughest competition appears to be the Perry Simser trained Calculus Risk.  The filly by Devious Man/K Squared Hanover is one for one in her young career.  She scored a NYSS win at Yonkers.

The unbeaten Chapvious (Devious Man) with driver Jason Bartlett is the clear-cut favorite to win the $54,500 second division.  George Ducharme trains the filly who is two for two getting NYSS wins at Buffalo and Yonkers.

The 14-race card starts at 1:00 p.m.
