If Continualou had sneaked a peek to her left while she was charging through the lane Saturday (June 5) at The Meadows, she might have noticed that the horse gaining on her her was her stablemate, Blue Diamond Eyes. But Continualou gave no quarter, edging Blue Diamond Eyes by a nose for her second-straight Pennsylvania Sires Stake win.
The $149,532 event for sophomore filly pacers, known as the Adios Betty, was contested over two divisions with Mikala taking the other split.
Blue Diamond Eyes circled the field from post 6 for the early lead, but when Continualou quarter-poled to the top for Ronnie Wrenn, Jr., it appeared she had he field where she wanted it. Yet the daughter of Sweet Lou-Continual Velocity, a homebred for Burke Racing Stable and Weaver Bruscemi LLC, needed a :27.4 final quarter to score in 1:51 and hold off her stablemate by a nose. Incaseyoudidntknow completed the ticket.
