Popular Winners In Distinction Divisions
A pair of $14,000 Distinction divisions for three-year-old pacing fillies highlighted the Tuesday evening program at Sulky Trois Rivieres, and both splits were taken by post time favourites.
Rosa Bonheur L A tracked cover before blowing by rivals in the lane en route to a 2:00.1 score in the opening contest for the team of trainer Luc Blais and driver Yves Filion.
The daughter of The Panderosa, who was sent off as the 4-5 choice, drew off to win by three lengths over Tornade Jimmy. Puissance Duharas faded to finish third after supplying fractions of :28, :59.1 and 1:29.
Lorraine Auger of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec holds the papers on the filly, who owns a 6-2-5 record from 22 starts in 2008. The victory boosted her lifetime earnings to $50,853.
Lucky Kiss showed no mercy in the second division, winning by more than five lengths in a time of 1:57.3 for the duo of driver Denis St. Pierre and owner/trainer Colin Johnson of Le Gardeur, Quebec.
The Real Artist miss took over command at the three-quarter pole and simply drew away in deep stretch. Orithyrie Semalu was second best and Caline Dol rounded out the top three.
Sent off as the 1-2 choice in the seven-filly affair, Lucky Kiss notched her fourth win of the campaign while pushing her lifetime earnings to $28,538 in the process.
