Three Times Bettor took her sixth consecutive win, extending a streak that dates back to her sophomore season as she captured the $41,096 Fillies and Mares Open Handicap Pace at Oak Grove Racing, Gaming & Hotel on Sunday, May 10

The heavily favoured mare, driven by Dexter Dunn, tightened the screws for her $100,000 USD Kentucky Sire Stakes final on May 16 with a 1:50.1 jog. Dunn, flying into town for only two drives on the day, circled the Brett Pelling trainee to the top after a :26.4 first quarter and guided her to the :55 half and 1:23.1 three-quarters. Three Times Bettor widened her advantage all the way to the wire to a 5-1/4-length win under wraps over Yankee B Something (Geremy Bobbitt), who gave pursuit from a pocket ride in second. Bonitas Best Bet (Brandon Bates) saved ground to take third.

Thaddeus Wier owns Three Times Bettor, a four-year-old daughter of Bettors Delight-Three Times A Lady. The mare is two-for-two this year after sweeping two legs and the final of a Kentucky Sire Stakes series and winning an overnight at Pocono to end her three-year-old campaign. She won her 11th race from 19 career starts on Sunday and has now banked $296,575. She paid $2.22 to win.

Driver Marcus Miller pulled no punches with Todd Luther trainee Burnout in the co-featured $41,096 Open Pace for a 1:50 victory at odds of 20-1. 

Burnout hustled out of post three and persisted for the lead when pressed by Hazardos (Brandon Bates), forcing that rival into the pocket after a :26.3 first quarter. Burnout cruised to a :55 half as Tip Top Cat (Devon Tharps) angled off the pylons from third with 1-5 favourite Oakwood Heymiki Ir (Matt Krueger) in tow, but Tip Top Cat stalled in his grind as Burnout pushed the gas pedal to three-quarters in 1:22.3. Miller still had a tight hold on Burnout as the field started stacking around the last turn, and the gelding held his ground for a three-quarter-length win. Tip Top Cat hit his best stride late in the lane for second. Oakwood Heymiki Ir similarly built his momentum late to just miss in third.

A six-year-old son of Racing Hill-Sangaal, Burnout won his fourth race from 11 starts this season and his 21st from 79 starts in his career. Owned by Greg Luther Racing LLC, he has now earned $535,499. He paid $42.12 to win.

Trainer Erv Miller led all trainers on the special 13-race Mother's Day card with a hat trick. Miller first scored on the back half of the program with a pocket-popping win by Public Knowledge (Marcus Miller, $6.46) in a 1:55.2 mile and followed that with a pair of chalks in Caillou Hanover (Atlee Bender, $2.70) in the day's ninth race and with Western Era (Atlee Bender, $2.32) in the nightcap. The conditioner is 31-for-125 this year for a 24.8 per cent strike rate.
