Showherthemoney Gritty At Chester
On Tuesday, December 7 at Chester Racetrack, John Cancelliere's Showherthemoney ($7.00) outlasted a stiff challenge from odds-on favourite Not Enough in their $25,000 second-round division of the
Industrial Highway Series. The former prevailed by a neck in 1:53 after battling neck and neck for the last three-eighths of a mile.
David Miller drove the four-year-old Cams Card Shark mare, who was making her second start for new trainer Thomas Cancelliere. Initially, she settled in a stalking position and allowed Not Enough (driven by Tim Tetrick) to set the pace through a :27.3 opening quarter and a :57.3 opening half mile.
The plucky Showherthemoney began her pursuit on the backstretch. She angling two-wide and worked her way to the lead past the 1:25 three-quarters of a mile split, but was unable to clear.
Not Enough countered Showherthemoney's every move, but Showherthemoney prevailed by a neck. Fleeting Flirt N (Jonathan Roberts) took the show honours.
Prohibitive 1-9 favourites Shacked Up (Eric Goodell) and Billie Bluechip (Tim Tetrick) shared the 1:52 speed mark for the day's Industrial Highway divisions, while Dawns Legacy (Jonathan Roberts) was victorious in 1:53.1.
