Grass Sprinter takes claiming honors

Ziptronic won the tenth race at Belmont Park Friday afternoon and has been named the agameofskill.com Claimer of the Week. The son of City Zip escorted the field of $25,000 claimers from coast to coast on the Belmont turf and won in his first start of 2013 with Luis Saez aboard. The 7 year old covered the 6 panels in 1:08.71 and paid $10.80 to win. Trained by Gary Contessa the gelding recorded his sixth career win and has finished in the money 16 times from 35 lifetime races. Owned by Harold Lerner & Nehoc Stables, Ziptronic has accumulated over $190,000 in career earnings.
