Leaving from post position number one in a field of seven, Win Missy B, got
away third and as the field headed towards the quarter quickly moved to the
outside for the retake in 27.4. From there Norris guided Win Missy B through
fractions of 56.3 and 1:24.4. Around the final turn it looked as though Win
Missy B was coming back to the field as Kristins Victory (Steve Smith) were
quickly gaining ground. Through the stretch Norris reached up and kept Win
Missy B’s mind on business and was able to hold off the late challenger in
1:54.4.
“She seemed to think that the race was over or something part way through the
stretch there so I had to keep her mind on business and work on her a little
bit” said winning trainer-driver Charlie Norris in the winner’s circle.
“Every guy dreams of having a horse like this, she might not win all the time
but she shows up and gives 100 percent every week. We will head to Yonkers next in the NYSS and then she will be in Lexington
Also capturing divisions of the NYSS on Sunday night were Fortunista – 1:55.4
(Mike Merton) and Whimzical Britt – 1:56.1 (Stephane Bouchard).
