CT: Zip starts too much in Sylvia Bishop * The Racing Biz

ZIP Start delivered a performance that was worth 3-10 favoritism in the $ 75,000 Sylvia Bishop Memorial Stakes on Saturday in Charles Town Races, in which an impressive 4 ¾ length victory scored over five other 3-year-old Merries.

The seven-Furlong function, mentioned in honor of trailing trainer Sylvia Bishop-De first black woman who has a license as a trainer in the US marketed Stakes of Zip Start and continued her impressive form at her home track.

Trained by Jeff Runco for Coleswood Farm Inc. And David Raim, and driven with Poise through Arnaldo Bocacca, the beginning of the Merrievefeulen stated the early pace while travels two wide. Well in hand beyond half the mile marker, she varied to take the order halfway through the far bend and broadened her advantage through the piece with only mild insistence. She completed the distance in 1: 25.81 over a fast track.

The victory was her second in three starts this year and her victory in the second effort, which contributed to James and Eleanor Casey Memorial last November. ZIP started her career record to 4-out-7 and raised her bankroll to $ 137,891.

Recalled the glamor, sent on 10-1, was the only rival who offered a lot of challenge, gathered from the pace and ended a clear second one. The Italian song, also trained by Runco, is mildly closed between horses to become third. On the bull our street gel and early leader our Miss Crossbow completed the order of finish.

Runco, a mainstay in Charles Town, dominated the race with a 1-3-6 finish and continued his productive deployment season. Zip Start became his fourth winner of various efforts of 2025.

Bettors who supported Zip Start were rewarded with $ 2.60 to win, $ 2.20 to place and $ 2.20 to show. The $ 1 Exacta (6-5) with call De Glamor founded a modest $ 3.80, while the $ 1 trifecta (6-5-4) paid $ 16.80. The superfecta of $ 1 (6-5-4-1) returned $ 42.90.

Bred in West Virginia by Williams Racing Corp., Zip Start is a bay of merringieules through the exchange rate dances for glory. She is owned by Runco’s own Coleswood Farm and David Raim.
