Isabella Blue Chip Wins Three Diamonds Prep

November 25, 2006

Sweetheart winner Isabella Blue Chip held on for a nose victory over longshot Catch The Show Saturday night in 1:53.3, the $20,000 prep for the $439,000 Three Diamonds for two-year-old pacing fillies on December 2 at the Meadowlands. Little Miss Dragon made a late bid and finished third by a length and three-quarters.

All seven of the starters in the prep along with Tidewater Dragon advance to the final, one of the quartet of stakes for two-year-olds that make up the $1.7 million Fall Final Four.

The daughter of Bettor’s Delight, trained by George Teague Jr., and drivern by Jack Moiseyev races for the Patrick and Marianne Callahan’s Only Money Inc. of Hartley, Delaware, and Teague Inc. of Houston, Delaware. Isabella Blue Chip now has seven wins, three seconds and two thirds from 14 starts. She has banked $439,083.

"She left nice and strong,” said Brenda Teague, who works with her brother, George, and is the co-owner of Isabella Blue Chip. “It has been a long season for her. She will be getting some time off after next week. She will stay in Delaware during the winter."
