The Bank filly adds to coffers again

Its Not My Vault (The Bank) rebounded from her first career harness racing loss with a win in Prospect Series leg 5A for two-year-old filly pacers at Grand River Raceway on Wednesday (Sep. 18).

The filly sat third in the first division for Colin Kelly as Silver Manalishi (Bruce Richardson) got away with :30 and 1:02.3 first-half fractions. Its Not My Vault went to the outside as the field entered the third turn and muscled to the front, taking over before three-quarters in 1:31.4. She added a couple lengths of cushion on the final turn and cruised homoe to win by a length-and-three-quarters in 2:02 over Banks A Million (J. Bradley Harris). Silver Manalishi was third.

Sweet Swirl (Muscle Mass, Anthony Haughan) took the second division. She led the rest of the field as Belvedere Kathy (Dagfin Henriksen) flew out to a loose lead in the first half before fading going to three-quarters. Sweet Swirl inherited command and hustled home while building her lead to two-and-three-quarter lengths in a 1:58.4 victory.

Mr Kirsi (Brett MacDonald) held off Talbot Ehbeesea (Samuel Fillion) for second.
