A field of 11 will assemble with aspirations to give their bankroll a massive boost in Saturday's $500,000 NYSSS Fifth Avenue Stakes for eligible New York-sired 2-year-old fillies going seven furlongs at Aqueduct.

Trainer Saffie Joseph, Jr. will send up Wynwood Thoroughbreds and Make A Run Stable's homebred Forces Sweetheart , who ships to the Big A by way of South Florida off a sharp debut triumph at Gulfstream Park. The daughter of The Lieutenant  was a six-length winner of her Nov. 5 debut, where she was entered for a $50,000 tag.

Joseph, Jr. expressed interest in the NYSSS Fifth Avenue before she made her first start.



"She had trained pretty decently going into that race and obviously she had won well," Joseph, Jr. said. "It's going to be a big step up in class for her, but she's eligible for this race and we were hoping she would run well in her first race so we could take a chance in here. We're giving it a go."
