Lady In the Wind held off Rapsong to win the $51,200 New Jersey Futurity for New Jersey-sired three-year-old trotters, the second race on Friday, September 25 at Freehold Raceway
.
The Windsongs Legacy filly trotted the mile in 1:58.3 for her third victory. She has finished in-the-money in nine of 12 starts.
Bred and owned by Dreamland Farms of Cream Ridge, New Jersey, Lady In The Wind improved her bankroll to $78,207. She was unraced at two.
Driven by David Miller and trained by Joseph King, Lady In The Wind [$3.40, $2.10, $2.10] was on the lead at every pole. Rapsong [$2.20, $2.10], also a daughter of Windsongs Legacy, stalked the odds-on favourite but could not make up ground in the stretch.
The three colts and geldings in the race were well out of contention with Homer Jay [$2.80], a son of Muscles Yankee, third by 10 and a half lengths.
The New Jersey Futurity is sponsored by the Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey.
