Nichols, NY — Gimpanzee (Brian Sears) won the $59,800 first division of the New York Sire Stakes (NYSS) for 3-year-old trotting colts & geldings at Tioga Downs on Friday (July 19).

Gimapanzee ($2.10) hit the first quarter in :28.1.  Mr Vicktor (Tyler Buter) followed in the pocket the whole trip as Gimapanzee hit the half in :56.2.  He then cruised to three-quarters in 1:24.3 and found another gear to win by over 4-1/4 lengths in a lifetime best of 1:52.4.  Mr Vicktor had to settle for second money.  Livinonthedash finished a distant third.

Gimpanzee is a 3-year-old colt by Chapter Seven.  He is three for three this season and now is a perfect 12 for 12 in his career.
