Thats Mara extended her Running Aces win streak to three on Saturday night, handling the step up into Open Fillies and Mares company with relative ease.
The five-year-old Lis Mara mare closed with a :27.4 final panel to sweep past a full field and win by over a length in 1:52.3. Thats Mara is owned by Piece Of The Action LLC, trained by George Reider and has been driven to her three straight victories by Kim Pluta.
Love Live Laugh (Tim Maier) finished second with Ladys Art (Steve Wiseman) garnering the show share of the race, dubbed the "Back To The Track Sweepstake" and carrying an $18,000 purse.
Patrons were treated to free programs, a t-shirt toss after every race, an autograph session with Running Aces' top 10 drivers and 10 lucky fans got to enjoy two-seater jog carts around the quick five-eighths mile oval between races.
