Bit O Looks Wins Mares Open Trot

Published: March 16, 2013 05:13 pm EDT

In what was arguably the best race of the night, Bit O Looks won the $8,500 Fillies & Mares Open Trot in 2:01 at Buffalo Raceway Friday night (March 15).

The win was the third this season for the six-year-old ILooklikemymom mare, who is owned by Paul Stolfo of Akron, Ohio.

Leaving from the pylons in the field of eight, Bit O Looks ($6.30) and reinsman Dan Noble settled in third as eventual third-place finisher JAs Charmer (Jim Morrill Jr.) cut all the fractions in the race (:29.2, 1:00.1, and 1:30.4). As the field hit the top of the stretch, Noble had Bit O Looks perfectly positioned second on the outside and a :30.1 last quarter-mile put the Larry Clabaugh trainee a head in front of Starbux Eden (John Cummings Jr.) at the wire.

The $4,250 share of the winning purse put Bit O Looks’ seasonal earnings at $15,696 and lifetime bankroll at $89,919. The win was her 24th in 111 lifetime starts.
