Molly Pitcher and Countess Adios winner Valmctorian drew the rail and was installed as the 5-2 morning line favorite in the $85,000 New Jersey Sire Stakes final for 2-year-old pacing fillies, the fifth race on Saturday at Freehold Raceway.

Cat Manzi will be at the lines of the daughter of McArdle�Penn Grad. She has finished first, second or third in all seven lifetime starts, taking her mark of 1:53.3 while winning a $66,850 Countess Adios division at the Meadowlands.

Ray Remmen trains the filly who races in the name of John Lichtenberger of North Bergen, N.J., Saverio Spagnolo of Potsdam, N.Y., and James Chambers of Annapolis, Md. She was an $18,000 Harrisburg purchase and has earnings of $98,172 and four wins to her credit.

This will be Valmctorian�s first meeting with McArts N Crafts, the 3-1 second choice in the morning line.

This McArdle filly has two wins, two seconds and three thirds from seven starts and earnings of $275,981 for owner-trainer Haralabos Giannoulis of New Milford, N.J., who acquired her at the New Jersey Classic Sale for $12,000.

Most of her bankroll was due to her success in the $441,750 Sweetheart final on Aug. 3. McArts N Crafts won the premier 2-year-old pacing filly event at the Meadowlands in 1:53.2, her lifetime mark.

McArts N Crafts will leave from post five with Steve Smith driving.

Both fillies were bred by Perretti Farms in Cream Ridge, NJ,
