Blue Diamond Eyes may have been part of the Adios Eliminations undercard Saturday at The Meadows, but the three-year-old filly pacer made sure she was more than an obscure footnote.
The daughter of Captaintreacherous-Aria Hanover captured a $148,332 Pennsylvania Sires Stake, known as the Romola Hanover, in 1:49 for Yannick Gingras matching the fastest distaff mile ever at The Meadows. The record was established by Allstar Rating also a sophomore and also for Gingras in 2014.
Blue Diamond Eyes blistered the three-quarters in 1:21.3 before coming home in :27.2. Long shot Milieu Hanover rallied for second, four lengths back, while the pocket-sitting Chase Lounge finished third.
