New York Stallion Stakes set for Sunday

Four stakes will be featured at Aqueduct on Sunday when horses by New York

stallions take center stage. Of those four New York Stallion S. events, the most

competitive on the day will be the $100,000

Cormorant division, which has drawn an overflow field of 15. Three

are listed as also-eligibles and two are entered for the unlikely event that the mile turf race is switched to

the main track.

Grade 3 winner WEST VIRGINIA (Tomorrows Cat) ran on this day in 2003, taking

the Great White Way division by a nose. He enters the Cormorant off a fifth in

the Empire Classic H., a race he was second in last year by just a head. The

Todd Pletcher trainee will share 120-pound highweight duties with WIN WITH BECK

(Personal Flag), a six-length hero of the Mohawk H. last out.

The distaff division will be in the spotlight in the $100,000

Perfect

Arc, which drew a field of nine.

Two-year-olds will get their turn in the $125,000

Great White Way and $125,000

Fifth

Avenue divisions. Sleepy Hollow S. third-place runner CLASSIC PACK (Regal

Classic) heads a field of six colts and geldings in the former race while stakes

winners ARTISTIC EXPRESS (Western Expression) and LITTLE MISS ZIP (City Zip)

will take on a field of 12 fillies in the Fifth Avenue.
