With apprentice rider Jevian Toledo aboard, Kryskaly Horse Racing’s New Yawker notched his fourth straight victory and in the process lowered the track record at Delaware Park for five and a half furlongs on the main track by running the distance in 1:02.59. The previous record of 1:02.68 was set by Trickle of Gold in 2006.
New Yawker, a 7-year-old son of Proud Citizen conditioned by Julio Cartagena has a career record of eight wins from 39 starts with earnings of $249,467. In his previous outing, the Kentucky-bred notched a ¾-length triumph in a five furlong turf allowance at Pimlico on June 2. On February 14, he was claimed for $5,000 by his current connections. Since then, he has won his four starts by a combined margin of 7 ¾-lengths.
