Lucky Artist A, superbly handled by Mike Simons, painted her way to a repeat win in Pompano Park s $10,500 Open Pace for mares on Tuesday night (Feb. 23), stopping the timer in 1:51.4.
The eight-year-old daughter of Artistic Fella took charge around the opening turn from her outside post and sawed through panels of :27.3 and :56 before a :55.4 half-mile sprint home to reach the finish line 1-1/4 lengths the best over Prairie Westerngal (Wally Hennessey) and Casies Believer (Joe Chindano Jr.).
As the wings folded, Prairie Westerngal used her blazing hooves off the wings to zip into an early lead with Lucky Artist A, leaving two slots farther out, now on the prowl to take charge midway around the opening turn.
