In rein to Yannick Gingras,
Maven got away third while Cocktail Attire was
hustled through early fractions of :27.3 and :57.1.
Gingras edged first over on the way to the half with
Maven, and Check Me Out was tracking her cover from
second over for trainer/driver Ray Schnittker. Gingras
punched the throttle across the backstretch, and Maven
quickly charged to the top and proceeded to take the
trotting lasses to the three-quarter pole in 1:25.1.
Maven maintained the lead coming into the lane, and she
used a :28.3 closing panel to keep the 1-9 favourite,
Check Me Out, at bay by a comfortable margin. Cocktail
Attire was a distant third in the stakes record-setting
performance timed in 1:53.4.It was an
ultra-impressive 2012 debut for the three-year-old
daughter of Glidemaster-M Stewart, who put together a
7-1-1 record from 11 starts as a freshman. Jonas
Czernyson trains the career winner of 4186,858 for owner
W J Donovan of Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
Superstar Hanover took the opening division for
trainer/driver Jimmy Takter in 1:56.2. The daughter of
Cantab Hall-Star Hanover watched from the pocket as By A
Nose Hanover threw down early fractions of :27.4 and
:57.1. Takter gave his filly first-over marching orders
in the backstretch, and she showed the lead while parked
at the three-quarter pole in 1:26. She coasted home in
:30.2 to win by a comfortable margin over End Of
Innocence, with third prize earned by Temple Blue Chip.
Christina Takter, John Fielding and Louie Camara
share ownership on the four-time winner, who was sent
off as the 1-5 favourite in her 2012 debut. The lion�s
share of the $62,528 purse boosted the sophomore�s
career earnings to $197,288.
Idonette (3) and John Campbell have too - much momentum for Sand Violent Blue and Real Babe. |
Idonette turned in a career-best performance for
driver John Campbell, who rallied the Henrik
Lundell-trained daughter of Donato Hanover-Ivette to a
1:55.2 victory in her $62,528 division.
Idonette was parked by Bluff past the quarter pole in
:29 before working her way to the lead. Race favourite
Sand Violent Blue made her move in front of the
grandstand, and she was allowed to clear without a
tussle. Sand Violent Blu led through splits of :57.2 and
1:26.3, but she couldn�t fend off the re-rallying
Idonette in the lane. Idonette muscled past that foe and
drew clear to win in 1:55.2 as the 5/2 second choice in
the wagering. Sand Violent Blu was next best, with Real
Babe taking home the show dough.

three-time winner, who now boasts a 2-1-0 record in her
first three starts of the 2012 season. It was the
biggest single payday for the filly, who bumped her

her $62,528 division for driver Dave Palone. The Cantab
Hall-Passionate Glide miss sliced out fractions of

quarter to seal the deal in 1:55.1. The 6-5 favourite
defeated runner-up Blue Yonder and third-place finisher
Delicious.
