Delvin Miller Memorial Elims

July 8, 2005

A trio of $25,000 Devin Miller Memorial eliminations for three-year-old fillies determined the field for the $350,000 final, Friday night at the Big M.

Flirtin Miss battled first up on the backside and overtook the lead from the mile-cutter Pink Ribbons in the stretch to win by three-quarters of a length in 1:55.3. Dodger Blues finished a length and three-quarters back in third. Driven by John Campbell and trained by Jimmy Takter, Flirtin Miss claimed her first victory of the year for Brittany Farms of Versailles, Kentucky.

In second division, Ladymatic with driver Cat Manzi in the sulky, benefited from a pocket trip to score a one and three-quarters of a length victory in 1:57.1. Coulantine finished second and it was three lengths back to Soutaine Hanover in third.

In the third division, Margarita Nights overtook Lady Power in the final strides to win by a half-length in 1:56.3. It was a half-length back to Aeronautess in third. Fan Favourite was the fastest fourth place finishing, grabbing the final spot in the $350,000 Del Miller Memorial Final on July 15. In post position selections for next week, Flirtin Miss chose post two and Ladymatic chose post one. Margarita Night’s connections will make their choice on Saturday.
