Jason and Susan Skinner's BJs Sweetheart notched her seventh win of the year in 1:52.4 in the $12,500 Mares Open II at Harrington Raceway.
Trained by co-owner Jason Skinner, the five-year-old No Pan Intended mare got away third while Tyra and A La Notte Hanover battled to the quarter pole in :26.3. A La Notte Hanover worked her way to the top, but she was quickly under attack from BJs Sweetheart, who cleared at the mid-way point in :55. She took the field to the three-quarter pole in 1:23.3 before using a :29.1 kicker to win by 1-1/4 lengths over A La Notte Hanover. Third went to Matinee Dragon.
Tony Morgan, who had four wins on the card, guided the public’s top choice to the victory. She paid $3.20.
