Shezis A Beauty earned her second Prospect Series victory with a front-end performance in Friday's $6,500 fifth leg for two-year-old filly pacers at Grand River Raceway.
Driven by Travis Henry, Shezis A Beauty left from post two and established the lead ahead of insider Mara Lou (Brett MacDonald) in the early going. The popular Gerard Demers trainee carved out fractions of :28.1, :57.2 and 1:26.3 en route to the one-length victory in 1:56.1. Mara Lou popped the pocket turning for home and was second-best while Million Angels (Steve Byron) followed in third along the pylons.
Shezis A Beauty was a 4-3/4-length winner when dropping out of the Ontario Sires Stakes Grassroots to make her Prospect Series debut in the August 31 fourth leg at Georgian Downs. The Sportswriter-Keystone Eliza miss is now two-for-eight with $15,775 banked for owners Les Ecuries Gld Inc., and Jean Roch Marois.
She paid $3.50 to win as the 3-5 favourite.
Grand River will host the series finals for all divisions next Friday, Sept. 24.
