Scarborough, Maine (July 30, 2016) … Maine Sire Stakes action returned to Scarborough Downs on Saturday (7/30) with the harness eacing three-year-old state-bred trotting divisions divided into three splits contested for purses in excess of $10,000 apiece.
In the opening stakes split, when Noble Yaz stepped up to the plate, he not only won for the very first time in his career, but he also equaled a track record for 3-year-old trotting geldings in the process.
Stopping the clock in 2:00 flat, the son of Noble Venture-Sassy Cathy and driver Nick Graffam etched their names in the Scarborough annals, joining another Maine-bred, Bad Boy Billy, who established the standard during the Maine Sire Stakes Finals of 2009.
Way to hit one out of the park guys!
