29 in She's A Great Lady

August 22, 2006

Twenty-nine 2-year-old filly pacers have been drawn into three $35,000 eliminations for the She�s A Great Lady Stakes Saturday night at Mohawk, with the top three in each plus one fourth-place finisher drawn by lot returning for the $688,200 final Sept. 2.

Trainer George Teague Jr. and his sister, Brenda, have entered the 2006 Sweetheart Pace winner Isabella Blue Chip (PP5, David Miller), and Betting Machine (PP1, Ron Pierce).

Isabella Blue Chip, a Bettor�s Delight filly out of the On The Road Again mare Iminthemoodforlove, has won four of her seven starts and has notched a pair of second-place finishes, good for $290,421 in purses. Her quickest victory to date was timed in the $435,000 Sweetheart at the Meadowlands, where, after opening up lengths, she sped to a 1:52.2 clocking for Only Money Inc. and Teague Inc.

Betting Machine is a Bettor�s Delight filly out of the Matt�s Scooter mare Matt�s Machine. Also owned by Only Money Inc. and Teague Inc., Betting Machine holds a qualifying mark of 1:55.4 over a five-eighths mile racetrack, but she has only been able to notch a pair of second-place finishes in her five career starts.

Luck Of Michelle (PP3, Mike Saftic), a sensational daughter of Camluck out of the Artsplace mare Michelles Destiny, will be looking to extend her career unbeaten streak to eight in the first elimination. Trainer John Pentland has done a wonderful job with the bay filly this campaign, one which has seen her triumph in multiple stakes and lower the world record for a 2-year-old pacing filly on a half-mile track (1:53.3).
