A pair of $11,000 co-featured Preferreds topped the Tuesday (Jan. 16) evening card at The Raceway at the Western Fair District with So Frisky winning the split for the pacing mares and Delgado taking the other split for trotters.
So Frisky (pictured above) took the quickest way around the track with a gate-to-wire trip in the $11,000 Distaff Preferred Pace.
Colin Kelly and the David Daigneault-conditioned mare set panels in :29, :59.1 and 1:28.3 before sprinting home to a 3-1/4 length victory in 1:59.2. Coz Im Special (J Harris) took second and Laila Blue (Samuel Fillion) grabbed third.
An eight-year-old daughter of Dali and the Bettors Delight mare Beauty Delight, So Frisky is owned by Luc Ouellette. The victory marked her 39th career tally from 136 starts. In her career, So Frisky has banked $311,003. Going to the gate at 3-1, she returned $7.60 in the mild upset.
Delgado won the second feature of the evening, an $11,000 Preferred Trot, with Scott Young holding the lines for his dad, trainer Bob Young.
As the first panel was clicked in :29, Delgado sat second on the helmet of Brett MacDonald and Power And Grace. After that split, Delgado swept to the top. Setting two more panels in 1:00 and 1:30.1, Delgado opened up to win by three lengths in 2:01.2. Saulsgood (Tyler Borth) finished second and Arrakis (Travis Henry) completed the top three.
Pollack Racing LLC owns the five-year-old Trixton-Ruling Class gelding, who recorded his second win in three starts so far in 2024. In his career, Delgado has earned $216,785 to go along with eight wins in 54 lifetime starts. He returned $3.50 to win as the bettors' choice.
