One Tough Lass Wins Harold Dancer

Published: September 19, 2007 03:21 pm EDT

One Tough Lass took full advantage of the two favourites making breaks and cruised to victory in the $67,150 Harold Dancer Filly Trot on Tuesday at Freehold Raceway.

The Harold Dancer is for two-year-old trotting fillies bred in New Jersey and is sponsored by the Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey.

One Tough Lass ($10.20) won by six and three-quarter lengths and trotted the mile in 2:00 to post her second win along with three thirds from six starts.

The daughter of Muscles Yankee - Timberlassie lifted her career bankroll to $50,742 for Jon Ernder of Canonsburg, PA and William Neumeister of Bakersfield, CA, who acquired her on April 15, 2007.

The Ross Croghan trainee, driven by Jim Pantaleano, grabbed the lead off the gate and easily drew off to victory.

Sierra Marvel won the battle for second by a length over Smart Dream. Both Sierra Marvel and Smart Dream are daughters of Dream Vacation.

Previously unbeaten Muscle Shirt (Muscles Yankee) broke at the start and finished fourth - suffering her first loss in four career starts. Fantasy Yankee (Muscles Yankee), first or second in her first four of six starts, finished last in the field of five.

The stakes record since the Harold Dancer Filly moved to Freehold in 2000 is 1:59 set by Lovely in 2005. While it was hosted on the mile track at Garden State Park, the stakes record of 1:57.3 belonged to Bobbi Jo Mac (1997).
