Blue Ivy overcame windy conditions and a brisk 39 degrees on Saturday, Nov. 30 to become the fastest three-year-old pacing filly to win in the history of Northfield Park.
Blue Ivy (Captaintreacherous–Ali Blue–American Ideal) fired from post 2 to lead her competition through quarter times of :26.3, :54.1 and 1:22 in progress to a 1:51.1 mile, winning by seven-and-three-quarter-lengths.
The previous record of 1:51.2 was held by sophomore pacing filly Giggles In Dreams set earlier this year.
Blue Ivy now has eight wins in 20 starts this season for owner Renee Bercury and trainer William Bercury. Aaron Merriman sat in the sulky. The victory increased Blue Ivy’s earnings to $185,285. She paid $2.40 to win.
