However trainer Travis Alexander does have a three-pronged attack and all three bring a legitimate threat to the table. In his lone NYSS victory, he broke the Monticello Raceway track record for his age and gait after posting a 1:53.4 mile. Another fleet freshman Alexander has entered is Bastonata Bluechip (American Courage-Ascending), who will line up right next to his stablemate. Last but not least is My Body Guard (American Ideal-Tatiana Seelster) who will be making his first NYSS start after doing some good work in Kentucky. There are also two $20,000 NYSS Excel Series races on the card, programmed as races one and six.
