Racing much more aggressively in her second start of the year, Sand Windsor parlayed two strong moves to victory in Friday’s $22,500 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap Pace at The Meadows
.
Sand Windsor earned $202,757 last year at three, but she opened her 2011 campaign with a conservative effort that saw her finish sixth. On Friday, Brett Miller took off the gloves, sending her forward from the gate, then moving her first up from fourth. The daughter of Real Desire-Time N Again responded beautifully, gobbling up the leader, Spring Again, and prevailing by three-quarters of a length in 1:53.3. A hard-luck Jans Luck, who lacked racing room, was second while Sadies Place rallied for show.
