Asset Management way too strong in 1:52.3

Enjoying live cover from The Filly Princess through a :27.1 third quarter, J&M Racing's Asset Management ($14.00) drew off at will in the featured $7,000 top-level distaff pace on Wednesday (September 9) evening at the harness racing meeting at Vernon Downs.

 

Dan Daley angled the 7-year-old Western Hanover mare off the pegs near the end of a :57.4 half mile, following the cover of The Filly Princess (Chris Lems) while in pursuit of 11-1 pacesetter Kardashian (Aaron Byron).

 

Asset Management was towed up with the live cover of The Filly Princess on the far turn, continuing her bid after her cover took over through a 1:25 three-quarter sectional.

 

Off the turn, Asset Management struck the front and kicked clear at will, vaulting to a four-length advantage in the end of her 1:52.3 triumph.

 

Express Jet (John MacDonald) emerged from the pocket to save second, while The Filly Princess was an engulfed third.

Daley scored a grand slam in the bike on the first Wednesday card of the season at the Miracle Mile, teaming up as well with Summer Scent ($3.20, 1:59), Fresh Squeezed ($5.10, 1:54.1), and Cherry Crown Jewel ($5.10, 1:58).

 

Live racing returns to Vernon Downs on Friday (September 11) evening, with post time at 6:45 p.m. Eastern.
