After being perfect in the preliminary legs of the Family Day Trotting Series, Truffles Too was just as perfect in the final of Monday’s $33,400 final at Woodbine Mohawk Park.
After going the distance in last week’s opening leg of the Family Day Trotting Series, Truffles Too returned to Woodbine Mohawk Park and turned in an equally impressive triumph in Monday’s second leg of the series.
Eazy Pass justified her backing as the heaviest sort of favourite by brushing to the lead nearing the three-quarters and going on to tie her mark of 1:54.3 in the $40,000 Bobby Weiss Series Championship for sophomore trotting fillies Tuesday afternoon (April 27) at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono.
P L Olivia was hustled away at odds of 32-1 and put outsiders in behind her before the :27.3 quarter, and she went on to park second choice quarter-mover Trip Sevens, leaving that rival out in the air past the :56.4 half. Eazy Pass, whom Dexter Dunn had moved out behind Trip Sevens perhaps in anticipation of her clearing, thus had the second-over journey, but before the 1:26 third panel the victorious filly was on her way to the lead, which she maintained to the wire. Eazy Pass won by four lengths over the resilient P L Olivia, with Frankly My Dear third.
