Flawless Country, a two-year-old filly and one of the first crop of former USA and Canadian 2YO Trotter of the Year Southwind Frank, notched her second major Stakes success when she won the $253,000 final of the Pennsylvania Sire Stakes Championship at Pocono Downs on Saturday (September 5).
After enjoying a pocket trip, the filly kicked into top gear in the home straight to win in 1:54.6.
It was her fourth straight win and her season’s earnings of $263,496 is the benchmark for her age, sex and gait.
A $100,000 yearling, Flawless Country is out of a Donato Hanover mare.
The win vaulted Southwind Frank into second position on the USA first season sires’ list from a crop of only 49 foals.
Southwind Frank is part of the select Stallions Australasia frozen semen sire roster.
