The third leg of the Miss Versatility Trotting Series will line up behind the Vernon Downs starting gate on Thursday, September 11 and is slated as Race 7 on the nine-dash card.
Falls For You will look to redeem herself from her miscue behind the gate in the recent $250,000 Breeders Crown final at Mohawk Racetrack on August 30. Brian Sears will make the trip back to his hometown to drive the four-year old daughter of Yankee Glide for trainer Trond Smedshammer.
Falls For You has won three of her 11 starts in 2008 and established a new lifetime mark of 1:52.3 in the final leg of The Classic Series at the Meadowlands Racetrack on July 19. Falls For You established a new track record for four-year old trotting mares at Vernon Downs on August 15 in the $133,500 Conway Hall, winning by seven lengths with Brian Sears in 1:53.1.
Falls For You will also be joined by stablemate and World Champion Godiva Hall from the Trond Smedshammer stable. The four-year old Like A Prayer mare will be reunited with driver Jimmy Marohn Jr. who was at the controls the night Godiva Hall set a new World Record for four-year old trotting mares on a five-eighths mile track at Tioga Downs of 1:53.4.
Godiva Hall has won two of her nine seasonal starts, with the lump sum of her $211,796 bankroll coming from her victory in the $250,000 final of The Classic Series at the Meadowlands on July 26.
The $125,000 Miss Versatility final will be part of the Little Brown Jug card on Thursday, September 18 at the Delaware County Fair in Delaware, Ohio.
