Laurie Lee recorded her second win in the Fillies and Mares Open this season at Saratoga Casino Hotel when on Tuesday (April 1) afternoon, the Peter Pellegrino trainee pulled off the mild upset. 

Laurie Lee left from post seven to make the lead in the $21,429 feature for the ladies with Jimmy Devaux in the sulky. Just two weeks removed from a wire-to-wire score in the Open, Laurie Lee posted her fourth victory of the season when she held off a late bid from the race’s favorite Waitforever N (Brett Beckwith) to prevail in 1:55.1. Waitforever N was the runner-up in the Open while Lady Saturn (Brett Crawford) earned the show spot.

Laurie Lee finished second in the start in between her March 11 win and her Tuesday score that came at odds of 7-1. Laurie Lee, who is owned by June Hamerla of Georgia, now owns 37 career victories.

Live racing continues on Wednesday afternoon with a noon start to the matinee.
