Chris Marino trainee continues dominance

Campanile (No Pan Intended) continued her dominance of the Friday harness racing features at Saratoga.

The Chris Marino trainee prevailed for the third consecutive week in the feature for fillies and mares as she overcame her assigned outside post position to make the early lead, a lead she would never relinquish.

Austin Siegelman piloted the seven year old mare to her eighth victory of the year and fifth at the Spa in '16.

Campanile held off the late challenge of her co-favorite Bettorhaveanother (Bettor's Delight) to score in 2:00.2 in the 1 1/16 mile Open for distaff pacers.

Longshot Elm Grove Inarush (Mark Beckwith) came on to finish third in the $15,000 feature.

Campanile paid $6.30 to win as the race's 2-1 co-favorite and led an exacta and triple that returned $22.20 and $111.50, respectively. Campanile is owned by Mike Casalino, Jr.

Live racing continues at Saratoga on Saturday night with first post time set for 6:45pm.
