Bye Bye Michelle wins Vernon Downs feature.


Bye Bye Michelle (Chris Lems) wins the fillies and mares featured pace ($9,000) at Vernon Downs on Friday (October 13).

Bye Bye Michelle (Stonebridge Regal) would put up all the fractions, :27.1, :57.0, 1:25.2, 1:53.1.  Owned by Melissa Beckwith with Thomas Mc Tygue and trained by Andy Gardner, the 7 year-old mare would hold off the charge by the big favorite Drea's Good Powow (John MacDonald) and Love Live Laugh (Jimmy Whittemore).  Those two would end up in a dead heat for second.

Bye Bye Michelle ($7.10) would win for the seventh time this season and for the 32nd time in her career.

Lems would win two more on the night.  He would win with Give Angel Credit (Credit Winner) in 1:55.3, paying $32.60.  His other victory came with Fox Valley Photog (Vaporize) getting the mile in 1:57.3 while paying $11.20.

Vernon Downs returns to live action on Saturday (October 14) with a 10 race card starting at 6:45 p.m.
