The pacing mare Unbeamlieveable is now three-for-three for owner Gilbert Garcia-Owen and trainer/father Gilbert Garcia-Herrera after a recent claim, as she won Monday night’s $14,000 mares claiming handicap pace feature at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono in 1:52.1, which was just one fifth of a second off of her life's mark despite only 'good' going.
The daughter of Moon Beam was sent right to the front by the meet’s leading driver, George Napolitano, Jr., and never looked back, rattling off numbers of :27, :56.2, and 1:24 en route to a two-length tally over JKs Nancy Lee, those two producing an Exacta for the second straight week in this class.
This was the 40th win of the former fair star’s career, and boasted Unbeamlievable’s lifetime earnings to $202,952.
The draw for Saturday’s eliminations for June 30’s $2,000,000 Sun Stakes Saturday was held today, with the main stories being the filly Manchego putting her undefeated status on the line against colts in the Beal Trot; Lather Up and Done Well, the 1-2 finishers in last Saturday’s North America Cup final, drawing tough posts in the same elimination for the Hempt Pace; and Filibuster Hanover looking to keep his seasonal record unblemished in the Franklin Pace. A release with a morning line and final driving assignments for this Saturday’s elims will be distributed tomorrow afternoon.
