Backed at odds of 1-20, Ginger and Fred turned in yet another commanding victory, unasked in a 1:50.3 mile in Pennsylvania Sire Stakes action for three-year-old pacing fillies on Sunday, August 9 at Chester Racetrack.
Dave Palone sat early with the daughter of Real Artist--Graceful Motion, moving to the front well past a :27 first quarter, enabling Gordyyys Pet (driven by Ron Pierce) to clear the front before giving Ginger And Fred her cue.
Under minimal hand-driving and nary a strike of the whip throughout the mile, Ginger And Fred brushed to the front and controlled the intermediate fractions before striding away comfortably and powerfully through the stretch, widening her margin of victory to five and three-quarter lengths over Insider Tip (George Napolitano, Jr.) and Kiss Me Kate (Daniel Dube).
Ginger And Fred is trained by Ron Burke for the partnership of Howard Taylor, Robert Feldman, Edwin Gold, and Jerry Silva. The filly has won five straight races, and 12 of 22 starts in her career.
