Bath Beach lived up to her even-money status this evening at Mohawk, blasting to a three-length victory in the $67,000 final of the Princess Pacing Series
for three-year-old fillies.
Paul MacDonell positioned the strapping daughter of Life Sign into the three hole while Blogette Hanover blazed the field through early panels of :26.3 and :55.3. MacDonell moved his mare off the pylons at the mid-way point of the final turn, and she quickly closed in on Blogette Hanover who led to the three-quarter pole in 1:24.1.
Bath Beach used a :28.3 closing quarter to post the three-length decision over runner-up Grin Goddess. Third prize went to the leg two winner, Real Heart.
Bath Beach, who was sent off as the even-money favourite in the seven-filly affair, is trained and co-owned by Dean Nixon of LaSalle, Ontario. He shares ownership on the career winner of $82,370 with Jeff Rusnak and breeders Harry and Iris Horowitz of Brooklyn, New York. The victory was the filly’s fifth in 11 lifetime starts.
