Twin B Inspiring Scores At Flamboro

As Sports Chic, the 9-5 bettors' choice, left for the lead, Twin B Inspiring backed into a five-hole during a :28.1 opening quarter. Twin B Inspiring then launched her challenge as the field came off the turn into the stretch and approached the half-mile mark in :57.4. She applied first over pressure to three-quarters in 1:26.3 before overtaking Sports Chic and opening up three lengths down the lane en route to the 1:57.1 triumph. Drivingthedragon N, a winner the last time she competed in Flamboro's Preferred 2 class, followed Twin B Inspiring's cover and finished second ahead of Sports Chic.
Twin B Inspiring paid $7.70 to win as the 5-2 second favourite. The six-year-old Camluck mare is trained by Isaac Waxman and owned by Tess Mauro and driver J.R. Plante.
