An upstart in the field of elite distaff pacers, Real Amor hardly was intimidated as she moved first over to victory — her third straight — in Monday’s $20,000 Filly & Mare Preferred Handicap at The Meadows.
After trainer Brewer Adams claimed Real Amor for Adams Racing LLC for $10,000 on Jan. 22, she won her first start for her new connections in a conditioned event. Against tougher on Monday, she rolled from fourth for Mike Wilder and scored in 1:54.1, 4 lengths better than Shine N Shimmer. Blissful Romance rallied from last for show.
Real Amor, a six-year-old daughter of Real Artist-Sweet Amor, extended her career bankroll to $215,215.
Dave Palone drove six winners — three for trainer Ron Burke — on the 15-race card while Wilder carved out a four-bagger.
