Stakes-contending two-year-old returns a winner at three

Sandras Mystery (All Bets Off), a stakes-placed harness racing filly last year at two, won her 2024 debut on Friday (May 3) at Century Downs.

Phil Giesbrecht angled her off fourth-over cover turning for home, and the filly got up just in time to score by a head in 1:58. She charged past five horses in the stretch, catching Cf Saving Grace (Colin Kelly) in the final strides. Saucy Posse (Nathan Sobey) was third.
