A late charge by P L Princess C (Thinking Out Loud) and harness racing driver Aaron Byron worked in capturing the $9,000 fillies & mares’ pace at Tioga Downs on Friday (May 17).
Lets Ryde Girl (Braxten Boyd) led to the quarter in :27.0. She slowed things down using a :30.1 second quarter breather to be first to the half in :57.1. She was still in command getting to three-quarters first in 1:24.3.
As they made the turn for home P L Princess C ($9.30) came flying down the stretch like her tail was on fire and blew right on by to win in 1:53.1. Amini (Mike Merton) finished second. Rosey Time (Jim Pantaleano) was third.
P L Princess C is a 5-year-old mare trained by Paul Long for owners Charlene and Jeff Long. It was her third win this season. She now owns 13 career victories.
