Huntress cruises in Fillies & Mares pace

Huntress (Huntsville) won as she pleased in the Fillies and Mares Winners Over Select at Bally’s Dover on Wednesday night.

Harness racing driver Allan Davis wasted no time in sending Huntress quickly to the front at the start of the race and controlled the race tempo. Laurel Court grabbed a seat in second.  Misty Coast watched the action along the pylons in third.

Huntress, the 1/5 betting favorite, sped past the opening quarter in 27.1. Without any pressure, she was able to back off the half in 57.2, a 30.1 quarter.

Huntress then started to open up a lead passing the three quarters in 1:24.4, an amped up 27.2 quarter.  Melody Hanover was parked out in fifth but was spinning her wheels and was a non factor.

In the stretch, it was a rocking chair ride to victory.for Huntress who won by three quarters of a length in 1:52.1. She paid $2.60 for the win.

Huntress (Huntsville) is owned by Manklin Creek LLC. of Berlin, Maryland.
