Billmar Scooter beat a tough group of distaff pacers to win her second straight winners of over $25,000 lifetime pace for mares in the $25,000 feature race on Tuesday night at Pocono Downs
.
Leaving from post position two in a field of eight as the 2-1 second choice, Billmar Scooter, a Keystone Raider mare from the barn of Amber Buter driven by Tyler Buter, took on classy veteran Chancey Lady first over and wore her down in the stretch. The closers weren’t able to get to her as she came home a winner by 1-1/4 lengths over Mud Pie Hanover in 1:51. Red Star Hottie finished third.
The win was the mare’s fifth win of the season in 14 starts. It was Billmar Scooter’s 26th lifetime win, and the lion’s share of the purse pushed her career earnings to $458,361.
