The Champlain Stake for two-year-old filly pacers was contested on Saturday night at Mohawk Racetrack.
Blameitonthenight survived a first-over journey to win her $106,066 assignment for the tandem of driver Yannick Gingras and trainer Tony Alagna. The daughter of Mach Three-What Could Be watched Somemoneysomewhere and That’s The Ticket take turns on the lead through first-half fractions of :27.3 and :56.2 before powering to the top while racing parked to the three-quarter pole in 1:24.3. Her :28.4 closing quarter earned her the win by a half-length margin over stablemate Awash in 1:53.2. Stonebridge Sundae rounded out the Triactor ticket.
Sent off at odds of 7-1, Blameitonthenight won for the third time in seven tries for Alagna Racing LLC, Crawford Farms Racing and Donna Ozment. The rich win bumped her bankroll to $110,547.
