Vesuvio AS exploded off the gate and cut the mile, capturing the $100,000 New Jersey Sire Stakes Premier Division Championship for 3-year-old trotting colts and geldings by 5 3/4 lengths on Friday at Freehold Raceway.
The son of Windsong’s Legacy drew off with a :28.4 final quarter for a mile time of 1:57.2, only a fifth of a second off of the stakes record.
Driver Tim Tetrick was at the lines as the colt bested his entrymate, Howthehaloareyou, a son of Yankee Glide. They returned $2.40, $2.60, $2.10. It was 7 1/4 lengths back to Sir Winston, by Revenue, in third.
Vesuvio AS, who is out of the Mack Lobell mare Rimini AS, was bred by his owners Ann-Christin Lorentzon of Vislanda, Sweden and John Erik Magnusson of Paris, Ky., who race as the ACL Stuteri AB of Paris, Ky.
Conditioned by Anette Lorentzon, Vesuvio AS now has three wins, a second and a third in seven starts this year and has finished in-the-money in nine of 13 career starts. His 2009 earnings of $158,310 have lifted his lifetime bankroll to $233,760.
All five his career wins have come in New Jersey Sire Stakes events, including his lifetime mark of 1:54.4 taken at the Meadowlands on May 25. (NJSS)
