Ludacrous A Three-Peats At Dover

Ludacrous A

Aussie sensation Ludacrous A stormed home to win her third consecutive race in the $23,188 Fillies and Mares Winners Over at Bally’s Dover on Wednesday night, March 5.

Lulu Rocks (Jason Thompson) rushed to the front early and forced Misty Coast (Jim Morand), who left from an outside post, to take a seat in the pocket. Ludacrous A (Corey Callahan), the 2-5 favourite, was content to settle in six but spotted the field eight lengths approaching the quarter. Lulu Rocks reached the opening quarter in :27.1 over a good track, and she continued on an uncontested lead passing the half in :56.2.

Driver Corey Callahan, who won four races on the card, maneuvered Ludacrous A to the outside but had some work to do, having to make up seven lengths over a speed-favoring surface. Ludacrous A roared down the backstretch first-over in pursuit of Lulu Rocks, who was loose on the lead. Misty Coast enjoyed a pocket ride. Cindy Jo (Pay Berry) saved ground along the pylons.

Lulu Rocks turned on the afterburners pacing to the three-quarters in 1:23.3, but Ludacrous A continued on a relentless brush and collared Lulu Rocks in deep stretch to win by three-quarters of a length in 1:52.2. Cindy Jo closed up the pylons to finish third.

Dylan Davis trains Ludacrous A, a six-year-old Art Major - Luda mare, for owner Mike Casalino Jr. She paid $2.80 to win.

The Thursday, March 6 feature is the $25,000 USD Open Handicap Pace, which has had a different winner in the class the last four races. Itsrockandroll A looks to repeat but must defeat previous winners Wehadababyetzaboy, Captaincountrystar and Alta Revelry N. First post is 4:30 p.m.
