After reeling off three consecutive wins at Northville Downs in Michigan, pacing filly Frances Lil arrived at Woodbine on November 11 and extended her winning streak to four-in-a-row
when she stopped the teletimer in 1:55.3. She returned on Thursday and turned in another 1:55.3 score to push the winning streak to five.
Trained by George Ursitti and catch-driven by Sylvain Filion, Frances Lil rolled the field through panels of :27.4, :57.1 and 1:26 before kicking home in :29.3 for the 1:55.3 triumph. It was 2-1/2 lengths back to runner-up Wish Away and third-place finisher Windsong Goldie.
The three-year-old daughter of Admirals Galley, who is owned by Sam Abdoo of Grosse Point Woods, Michigan, was unraced as a rookie but she has managed to put together an impressive record of 8-2-2 from the 27 starts she has made this season. She has banked more than $22,000 along the way.
