Maggi Moss’s Little Polka Dot,
away alertly and quickly in command, made the pace and drew clear in
the final furlong to post a length and a half victory in Sunday’s
$51,000 allowance dash for older
fillies and mares over Fair Grounds Stall-Wilson turf course.
Ridden by
Jesse Campbell and trained by Tom Amoss,
Little Polka Dot accomplished the about 5 1/2-furlongs over the grass
rated firm in 104.66 after establishing early fractions
of 22.17 and 46.81. The 5-year-old mare increased her career earnings
to $155,245 with her fourth win in 13 career starts and returned mutuels
of $8.20, $4.20 and $3.40.
Columbine Stable’s favored
Five Star Fun prompted
the pace of the winner throughout, could not catch that one but was
easily second best, finishing 4 1 /2-lengths to the good of Dana Myers
and Christina Lawton’s
Merom.
Five Star Fun paid $4.20 and $3 and Merom returned $5.60 in the show position.
Racing
