A sure sign of the oncoming spring season emerged in South Florida on the Tuesday, March 27 program as Canadian Hall Of Famer Doug Brown unveiled Ontario Sires Stakes hopeful Kylie Hall for the first start of her sophomore season

.

She was last seen on the track on November 12 at Woodbine in the 2011 OSS Gold Superfinal. She did not win as a two-year-old but did bank over $32,000 along the OSS Gold Series trail. The daughter of Striking Sahbra-Keystone Charity was a $12,000 purchase by Brown's ABC Stable of Bowmanville, ON as hip 646 in the 2010 Harrisburg Sale.

In her three-year-old debut at the South Florida plant, Kylie Hall didn't seem to mind the swirling winds coming in from the east off of the Atlantic Ocean as she stepped to a flawless victory in 2:01. In the middle stages she put away the first over challenge of four-year-old rival Guiding Hand in rein to Rick Plano. In the stretch, Dan Clements wheeled out Yankee Pinstripes from a second over trip and that Dave McGinnis pupil had to settle for the runner-up spot. Perfect OMF, with trainer Jan Johnson in the bike, brushed in for the show position. Kylie Hall prepped for the win under the lights with a 1:58.3 qualifying spin on March 17 and she was sent off as the 1-9 favourite.

Also on the March 27 program, an $8,000 claiming pace was decided in 1:52.4 in favour of Artsplace-Lady OTRA five-year-old gelding Premier. Dan Clements was in the bike to engineer the off the pace win in life's record time for the pacer, trained by Shawn Glassmeyer for Ingrid Glassmeyer of Pompano Beach. Scoot Diablo in rein to Fern Paquet, Jr. was second and Please Come Back partnered by Rick Schaut overcame the outside start in the field of eight to take down third at 39-1.
