After an inauspicious debut at Grand River Raceway earlier this fall, Frankies First Luv pulled up her socks and has since rattled off four straight scores for Team Marsden.
Bred, owned and trained by Jim Marsden, who co-owns the filly with Shirley Marsden, Frankies First Luv rallied for a career-best clocking of 1:54.1 during a fog-filled Thursday evening card at Mohawk Racetrack.
Frankies First Luv, who piled up a three-race winning streak at Grand River Raceway leading up to tonight’s Mohawk debut, was in no hurry in the early stages of Thursday’s assignment. She got away sixth and was seventh and parked at the mid-way point before making a big rally in the late stages of the mile.
Driver Bob McClure kicked off cover with the three-year-old daughter of Taylorlane Frankie-Rural Route Chris, and the sophomore out-kicked her foes to the finish line by a half-length margin. Saucy B was next best, with OK Godiva rounding out the top three finishers in the $17,000 affair.
The lion’s share of the purse helped boost her bankroll to $18,200. She returned a healthy payoff of $16 to her backers.
