By Frank Cotolo, for Breeders Crown
ANDERSON, Ind. – Youaremycandygirl, the heavy 2-5 public
choice off a strong elimination score last week, won the $600,000 Breeders
Crown 2-Year-Old Filly Pace by 4½ lengths at Hoosier Park Friday night. The
time for the mile was 1:53.2 over a sloppy track. Yannick Gingras drove the
filly for trainer Ron Burke.
Youaremycandygirl (American Ideal-Sweet Lady Jane) was in
total control from start to finish. She cut the first quarter in :27.1, passing
a quick-leaving Rainbow Room, who sat second through a :56.3 half and
three-quarters in 1:25.2.
Around the last turn, Youaremycandygirl drew clear of a
quick-closing Majorsspeciallady, who paced past Rainbow Room to get second.
Firestorm came late for fourth.
Birnam Wood Farms bred Youaremycandygirl for owner W.J.
Donovan. She paid $2.80 to win.
