Aussie import wins again in F&M Open
Harness racing mare Elektra A (Four Starzzz Shark), who arrived in the USA from Australia just a couple of month ago, captured her second $22,000 Fillies & Mares Open Pace at Harrah’s Hoosier Park Saturday (Sept. 16).
The 5th race feature saw race favorite Kobe’s Gigi (Michael Oosting) go right to the early lead from post seven with Elektra A and driver Kyle Wilfong grabbing the two-hole seat to the opening quarter mile in :26.4.
With no one challenging, Kobe’s Gigi went by the half mile in :55.2 and the three-quarters in 1:23.3.
Then in the stretch drive it was Wilfong getting Elektra A into gear, gaining ground with every stride and passing by Kobe’s Gigi at the wire by a half a length in 1:50.3. Skyway Brittney (Trace Tetrick) was third.
ELEKTRA A REPLAY
Trained by Jeff Cullipher, who co-owns the six-year-old mare with Pollack Racing, LLC, it was Elektra A’s second win in four starts in the USA. She paid $8.40 to win.
