Bettim Laura found the wire just in the nick of time on Sunday afternoon at Truro Raceway, and in doing so she picked up the biggest win of her career
.
In rein to trainer/driver Jeff Lilley, Bettim Laura front-stepped to a nose decision in the featured $12,600 Nova Scotia Stake for two-year-old pacing fillies.
The daughter of Largo-Bettim Amanda shot to the top from post six and laid down fractions of :28.2, 1:00.1 and 1:32 before fending off a late challenge by Emily Putnam en route to posting the career-best clocking of 2:03.4. Emily Putnam was a determined runner-up and Pictonian Pasha was a distant third.
Danny Purcell of Newport, NS bred and owns the freshman who has put together a 2-2-3 record in 15 starts this season. The payday boosted her bankroll to $15,017.
