Ladysmith uses late bid to win feature

Ladysmith (Dylan Huckabone-Miller) captures the $5,500 featured fillies & mares’ pace at Vernon Downs on Thursday (August 13).

Flight Crew N (Rene Goulet) led to the quarter in :27.2.  She used a :29.1 second quarter to be first to the half in :56.3.  Latenitedecisions (Chris Long) came first-up to challenge heading around the final turn.  Flight Crew N was the first one to three quarters in 1:26.0.

Second Place finisher Latenitedecisions took over the lead when they entered the stretch.  Ladysmith ($19.32) came flying late to get up just in time winning in 1:55.0.  Our Triple Major A (Jimmy Whittemore) took third money.

Ladysmith is a 6-year-old mare by Bettor’s Delight.  She is owned by Phillipe Trudeau, Isabelle Labbe, and trainer Fannie Saul Beaulieu.  It was her first win this season and her sixth career victory.
