Girl Power prevailed in Monday’s top trot at Mohawk Racetrack thanks to a come-from-behind score for trotting mare April Rose.
Going postward for Team Hensley – trainer/co-owner Ashleigh Hensley and co-owner/driver Ed Hensley – in the nine-horse affair, April Rose got away sixth before latching onto perfect cover behind Cash For Gold. Race favourite Finish Line set fractions of :27, :56.1 and 1:25.3, but he couldn’t fend off April Rose who kicked home in :28 to win by a head over Finish Line in 1:54.1. Exemplar was third.
Sent off at odds of 10-1, the five-year-old daughter of SJs Caviar-Show Me The Bling improved her 2017 record to 3-1-2 from 12 starts. The 12-time winner, who owns a 1:51.4 speed badge, bumped her lifetime earnings to $193,114 with the win.
