Three-year-old trotting filly Kats Fancy is just one race away from a second Delaware Standardbred Breeders Fund (DSBF) series sweep this season following her facile 1:58.1 win on Tuesday, Dec. 8 at Bally's Dover in the $27,778 second round of the December DSBF series.

With Cody Poliseno at the lines for trainer Carlo Poliseno, Kats Fancy travelled unopposed on the lead through splits of :28.4, :58.2 and 1:28.3 before repelling a first-over challenge from runner-up Take It Easy (Ross Wolfenden) on the far turn and edging clear to win by 2-1/2 lengths. Holly Lou (Allan Davis) finished third, another two lengths behind, after gapping the pocket on the far turn.

Kats Fancy is a homebred Dusty Winner-Koala Kat filly with 10 wins and $300,704 in purses earned from 25 starts for owner Jane Dunavant of Kenbridge, Virginia. She returned $2.60 to win as the 3-10 favourite.

On July 17, Kats Fancy completed a sweep of the summer DSBF series at Harrington Raceway with a 9-3/4-length win in the $150,685 final and she will seek her second DSBF championship of the season in next Monday's $110,000 USD Dover series final. Also qualifying are: Take It Easy, Holly Lou, Marino Bluestone, Song Master, Peggys Girl, Buttoncandy and Saints Design.

Sophomore male trotters will contest a pair of $20,000 USD DSBF second-round preliminary races on Tuesday, Dec. 9 at Bally's Dover, with the first taking place as a non-wagering event at 4:10 p.m. and the second kicking off a 15-race pari-mutuel program at 4:30 p.m.
