Blinded By Delight’s London Debut A Preferred Success

Blinded By Delight

Blinded By Delight visited The Raceway at the Western Fair District for the first time on Tuesday, March 14, and she stamped her authority in the $12,500 Fillies and Mares Preferred Handicap Pace with a gate-to-wire victory.

Tyer Borth had the seven-year-old firing out of post five and put her on the front early in a :28.2 opening fraction. Delta Sunrise (David Kelly) moved first-over coming off the second turn and gained on the leader through :58.2 and 1:26.3 middle panels but was unable to sustain her bid into the stretch. With that rival dispatched, Blinded By Delight pulled away from pocket-sitter Fated Fire (Robert Doyle) down the lane to prevail by 2-3/4 lengths in 1:55.2. Fated Fire finished second, followed by Swift Talker (Austin Sorrie).

Blinded By Delight snagged her second win of the year in 14 starts while dropping down from the mid-level conditions at Woodbine Mohawk Park. The Blair Burgess trainee made her first appearance at London in her 77th career start and raised her tally to 16 wins and $189,085 in earnings. Ken Seastrom of Wilton, Calif. Owns and bred the daughter of Bettors Delight-Ladys Art. Win bets returned $4.90.
