After testing the waters without success in the Ontario Sires Stakes program in 2011, pacing filly St Lads Hottie appeared to be all grown up in the first win of her three year old season on the Tuesday, February 21 program at The Isle Casino Racing Pompano Park.
The strapping filly by Lis Mara-Hot Butter defeated a group of maiden fillies in 1:57.1 for her first career win which included a final quarter of 28.3 with trainer Wayne Henry in the bike. The sister to former OSS two year old sensation St Lads Popcorn, a winner of over $587,000 in her career, was an $8,500 purchase by Shelley Henry of Arthur, ON and Jack McVicar of Alvinston, ON at the 2010 Standardbred Canada sale as hip number 116.
