FRANKLIN, Ky.— California-based Showgirl Lynne B ran her record to 3-for-3 in taking the $250,000 Keeneland September Fillies race by a neck with Florent Geroux up for trainer Bob Hess. The race was an allowance race limited to fillies that had gone through the sales ring at last year’s Keeneland September Yearling sale.
“You know, 3-for-3, she ran just the way she did last time,” said owner Louis Masry after running a horse at Kentucky Downs for the first time. “She takes the lead and just holds off the field. We’re looking forward to bigger and better things. We may run her at Keeneland next month or just go straight to the Breeders’ Cup.”
The Kentucky-bred Showgirl Lynne B, a $40,000 Keeneland purchase, earned $150,000 and now has made $213,000. Masry plans to reinvest it.
“I have to go to New Orleans on business next week,” he said, “and we’ll arrive at Keeneland on Thursday night the 15th and be there until the 20th to buy some more.”
NBS Stable’s Dunedin, ridden by Joe Rocco for Kelsey Danner, won the $250,000 colt division of the allowance race by a half-length, paying $47.04 to win.
