Yonkers Raceway hosted the 25th edition of the New York Night of Champions on Saturday night. The $1.8 million event -- richest night of racing in the state -- offered eight, $225,000 sire stakes finals for two and three-year-olds of both sexes and gaits.

Once again, each race was sponsored by a prominent Empire State breeding farm. Despite Mother Nature sticking her nose in -- rain throughout first half of card and delays due to track maintenance -- the state’s best were summarily saluted.

Here’s the chronological compendium...

Crawford Farms Two-Year-Old Filly Trot

Slight second choice Barn Doll (Jeff Gregory, $4.40) was the best coming in and best going out, winning (from post position No. 5) by five lengths in a soggy 2:00.4. Nunkeri (Mark MacDonald) was second, with Betcha (Jim Morrill Jr.) a recovering third after a break. Concentration (Brian Sears), also at 6-5 but the tepid favourite, broke early, though came back to finish fourth.

For Barn Doll, a daughter of Conway Hall co-owned by trainer Steve and Nancy Pratt and Purple Haze Stables, it was her seventh win in nine seasonal starts (three-for-three at Yonkers). The exacta paid $44, with the triple returning $192.50.

“She just knows what she’s doing, a total pro,” Gregory said. “I wasn’t worried about her coming up sick (in her last scheduled NYSS start) because Steve said it wasn’t that bad and she had trained well. I’m hoping she keeps it going next season as a three-year-old."

Cameo Hills Farm Three-Year-Old Filly Pace

As expected, the 11-10 choice, pole-sitting Spreester (Jason Bartlett) cut the mile, but she was no match for the lass on her back, It Was Fascination (Brett Miller, $6), from post two, ducked inside and won by a length and a quarter in 1:57.2. Table Talk (Matt Kakaley) was a first-up third.

For “Fascination,” a daughter of American Ideal co-owned by trainer Tony Alagna, Riverview Racing and Bay’s Stable, it was her fourth win in 13 ’14 tries. The exacta paid $12.20, the triple returned $38.60 and the superfecta (Major Dancer [Sears] was fourth) paid $85.50.

“I’ve never driven her before, but I watched her replays and thought if she was close enough, she’d have a chance,” Miller said.

Winbak Farm Two-Year-Old Filly Pace

The three-headed, Ron Burke-trained monster in Band Of Angels (George Brennan), Sassa Hanover (Morrill Jr.) and Bettor N Better (Kakaley) were considered so potent, they were barred from all wagering.

They finished fourth, fifth and eight (last).

It was just-over even-money Mosquito Blue Chip (John Campbell, $4.10) -- seventh at the three-quarters from post No. 6 -- furiously closing to snap Bossers Joy (Bartlett) by a nose on the money in 1:56. Heavenly Bride (Sears) was a from-last third. “Sassa” led to the lane before tiring to fifth.

For “Mosquito,” a Bettors Delight lass co-owned by trainer Paul Jessop, Our Three Sons Stable and Donato Falcicchio, she’s n
