Brittany-bred Six Pack wins $223,673 EBC Final


May 29, 2018

Six Pack 3,1:51.2 ($337,028), bred, raised and sold as a yearling by Brittany Farms, equaled the Vernon Downs track record and national season’s record by winning the $223,673 final of the Empire Breeders Classic in 1:51.2. (Watch Race)

The rich EBC trotting finals were part of a stakes-laden Memorial Day card at Vernon Downs in upstate New York.

Six Pack, by Muscle Mass-Pleasing Lady, won the $225,000 final of last year’s New York Sire Stakes 2-Year-Old Colt Trot at Yonkers and is now a perfect three for three on the new season. He is the year’s co-fastest sophomore colt trotter and also the richest thus far.

He was purchased for a modest $30,000 at the 2016 Lexington Selected Yearling Sale by his trainer, Ake Svanstedt, and has now earned more than $330,000. He is owned by the Svanstedt Stable, Jeff Gural’s Little E LLC, Stall Kalmar FF and Lars Berg.

Best wishes to all on the “Road to the Hambletonian!”

Brittany-bred American History wins NYSS 3YOCP

On the same card at Vernon, another Brittany bred/raised/sold colt, American History p,3,1:49.1 ($82,023), won his $40,600 division of the New York Sire Stakes 3-Year-Old Colt Pace in a career best 1:49.1.

The American Ideal-Perfect Touch colt, from the immediate family of World Champion Dr J Hanover, closed out his 2-year-old campaign last fall with a third-place finish in the $411,700 Governor’s Cup at Woodbine to eventual Dan Patch Champion Lost In Time.

American History was purchased as a Lexington yearling by his trainer Tony Alagna and is owned by American History Racing, Marvin Katz and Brittany Farms.
