Gale Springer and Gabe Grossberg’s True Brew, unhurried early, rallied strongly under jockey
James Graham when set down for the drive and bested Keith Lazarz’s
Thundering Chance in the
late stages of Monday’s Fair Grounds filly and mare feature, contested
at about 5 1/2-furlongs over a firm Stall-Wilson turf course.
The winner, trained by
Bobby Springer, got the
distance in 1:04.78, increased her career earnings to $81,000 with her
second win in 13 lifetime starts and paid $15.40, $7 and $5.20.
Thundering Chance was second best, returning $5.60 and $4.20 while finishing three-quarters of a length
in front of Ronny Werner’s Scintillation, who paid $4.60.
Scintillation made the pace with splits of 23:09 and 46:95 before weakening against the top two in the late stages.
Live racing returns Thursday at Fair Grounds with a nine-race program beginning at 12:40 p.m.
