Tug River Princess unleashed a furious stretch rally to take home top prize in Sunday's $253,400 Nadia Lobell final for three-year-old pacing fillies at The Red Mile.

The daughter of Badlands Hanover uncorked a big rally for driver John Campbell, who guided the Ross Croghan trainee to a career-best clocking of 1:50 in the rich assignment. Btwnyurheartnmine set most of the pace and stayed to finish second while Good News Lady grabbed the show dough.

It was the 10th win of the season and the 15th lifetime score for the photogenic filly, who upped her lifetime earnings to $594,638 with the score. Tug River Princess is owned by Let It Ride Stables Inc., Robert Cooper Stables LLC and Jerry Silva.

Earlier on the card, Campbell clicked with Stage Show in the $10,000 Moni Maker elimination for three-year-old trotting fillies.

The Broadway Hall miss, who froze the teletimer in 1:55.3, defeated Celebrity Tribute and Saorse en route to nabbing her seventh win of the season in just nine attempts.

Jim Campbell conditions the filly for owners Arlene & Jules Siegel of New Hope, Pennsylvania. The victory pushed her career earnings to $158,908.

The top nine fillies will join Lantern Kronos, who received a bye, in next Sunday's $175,000 final.
