Preferred slam dunk for Outlaw Allie Oops

Outlaw Allie Oops (Blue Burner) romped to her fifth victory in six starts as she rose to the Fillies and Mares Preferred ranks at Century Mile on Saturday (Jan. 20).

The mare took the lead with a long brush from fifth after the quarter of :29.2. Driver Phil Giesbrecht commanded a tempo of :58.1 and 1:27 through the middle half with the outer flow doing little to threaten.

Outlaw Allie Oops was on top by two as they straightened into the lane and stretched the advantage to three by mid-stretch. Jakara (Brandon Campbell) finished best of the rest, but she couldn’t touch Outlaw Allie Oops who raced four-and-three-quarter lengths clear to victory in 1:55.

Jakara was second over Sunshineatthebeach (Jamie Gray).
