Since July 4, Lucky Promesses has been perfect for owner, breeder and driver Jerome Lombart. On Tuesday night at the Hippodrome 3R, the four-year-old mare will be looking for her ninth straight victory.
Lucky Promesses is a daughter of Lucky Fool out of the Mr Lavec mare Promising Lavec. She will start from Post 3 in Tuesday’s Race 5 feature for trainer Andreane Lapierre.
Lucky Promesses is the winningest horse at H3R this season, as six of her wins during her impressive winning streak have come at her home track. Lombart has also taken his mare to Rideau Carlton Raceway during her streak, and there she took her lifetime mark with a 1:58.2 victory. She also won at Bedford on the Quebec Regional Fair Circuit.
She didn’t show much promise at age two, and recorded just one win at age three, but Lucky Promesses has really come into her own this year at four. She missed the Quebec-Bred Series, but had now made up for it all with her eight-race winning streak.

Over her past two starts, both at H3R, Lucky Promesses has begun to crush her opponents. She has won over both ‘fast’ and ‘sloppy’ tracks by a combined total of 12 and one-half lengths. She has also shown that she can leave out of the gate and wire the field or sit, wait, and strike at will.
Lucky Promesses is the 5-2 morning line favourite for her Tuesday tilt. She will more than likely go off at much lower odds, seeing as though her five rivals in the dash have all watched her from behind in previous starts. Holiday Gift (Post 2) and SOS Christina (Post 1) finished second and third, respectively, to Lucky Promesse last week at H3R.
Track Notes: This will be the last Tuesday night card of the season at H3R. First-race post time will be 7:00 p.m. Coming up this Sunday are the $480,000 finals of the Breeders Cup and Future Stars Series for two and three-year-old trotters and pacers.
