The first session of two-year-old qualifiers at Mohawk Racetrack took place on Saturday morning while South of the border the Meadowlands hosted its second session of Breakfast with the Babies with an added attraction of older stars.


At Mohawk, the fastest mile of the morning belonged to pacing filly Float On By. David Menary trains the daughter of Art Major for the same group that unveiled Hes Watching around this time last year -- Menary, Brad Gray and Michael Guerriero. With Jody Jamieson at the controls, Float On By sat the pocket until the stretch and then powerfully paced home to trip the timer in 1:56.1.


This filly was a $32,000 purchase from the Winbak Farm consignment at the 2013 Lexington Selected Sale.


On the trotting side, Rise Up Rise Up was a gate-to-wire winner for driver Keith Oliver and trainer Eddie Green in 2:02.3. The son of Holiday Road is owned by Kristine Green of Oshweken, Ont.
