FARMINGTON, N.Y. – Hard to Stay Notgo scored a convincing seven and three-quarter length victory in the 34th renewal of the $50,000 Niagara Stakes at Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack (FLGR) on Friday. She completed the six furlong dash for New York-bred 3-year-old fillies in a final time of 1:11.26.
The James Jerkins-trainee was kept with the early pace by Angel Arroyo. She then took command of the event and drew away from her rivals.
The $210,400 earner owned by Chester and Mary Broman earned her second career stakes victory. She also took the $125,000 Franklin Square at Belmont Park by five and one-half lengths on February 1.
Hard to Stay Notgo registered her third victory in her seventh lifetime start and paid $3.90, $3.00 and $2.60. True Shot rallied to be second and returned $9.30 and $6.20. Congaroo finished third and paid $4.00.
