BATAVIA — Hall of Fame trainer Ron Burke, who just scored his 16,000th career victory at the Red Mile last Tuesday (Aug. 12), will be racing a pair of 2-year-old Chapter Seven colts - AI and Who’s Eyes Blues - in the $108,300 New York Sire Stakes at Batavia Downs on Wednesday (Aug. 20) that will be contested as one seven horse field.
AI (Chapter Seven-Image Of Bee) quickly established himself as a prominent and talented 2-year-old trotter from the start of this year as he was undefeated in his first four starts in the NYSS. During that time, he set a new track record for 2-year-old trotting colts at Buffalo (1 minute 58.1 seconds) and tied the track record for a 2-year-old trotting colt at Yonkers (1 minute 56.3 seconds).
