Fred Monteleone’s U All BB turned a pocket trip into a sharp score in the $16,000 Mares Open Handicap Pace at Pompano Park on Tuesday evening.

Pasta Lavista went right to the lead at the start of the third race feature with U All BB and driver Bruce Ranger grabbing the two-hole ride. Pasta Lavista led the field to the opening quarter mile in :28.2 and the half mile in :57.1 before the action started to heat up.

Pompano Park ’s all-time fastest mare, Esmeralda Semalu, came first-over as the field entered the backstretch and the heavily favoured mare started to advance on the leaders by the three-quarters in 1:25.2. But it was then that Ranger made his move out of the pocket with U All BB and got the jump on Esmeralda Semalu.

As they started down the stretch, Pasta Lavista began to fade as U All BB took command and then held off a late charge by Chapsboots N Spurs to win by three-quarters of a length in 1:54.2. Esmeralda Semalu was third.

It was the first win in three starts this year for U All BB, a five-year-old daughter of Allamerican Ingot. She is trained by Bruce Ranger for the Fred Monteleone Stable of Pompano Beach, FL.
