Carnivore became the fastest 2-year-old pacer in North America this year, Btwnyurheartnmine stretched her winning streak to three, and full siblings Shanghai Lil and Blue Claw came up victorious to highlight the four pacing divisions of the $2.4 million Kentucky Unbridled Evening of Champions at The Red Mile Sunday night.
Carnivore increased his winning streak to four as he won the $300,000 Kentucky Sire Stakes final in 1:50.3, the fastest mile paced by a freshman in 2008. Ron Pierce was in the sulky for trainer Noel Daley and owner Jack Darling Stables. The son of Real Desire won for the fourth time in five career starts as he defeated My Old Friend John and Mobile.
Btwnyurheartnmine romped to two previous Kentucky Sire Stakes victories and this time Andy Miller rallied his charge past the leading Unique Legacy to score in 1:50.3 in her $300,000 KYSS finale for 3-year-old filly pacers. Age Of Consent finished third.
A daughter of Real Desire, Btwnyurheartnmine won for the fifth time in seven starts this year for trainer Erv Miller and owners Lake To Sky Farms and Mark Fransen.
Shanghai Lil rallied late down the stretch for driver Dave Palone to win the $300,000 KYSS championship for 2-year-old filly pacer in 1:51.2. Warrawee Kay was second with Palazzo Princess third.
A daughter of Jenna's Beach Boy, Shanghai Lil won for the third time in six starts. She is owned by All Star Racing and trained by Pete Foley.
The same connections came back to later win the KYSS final for 3-year-old colt pacers as Mike Lachance found room along the inside to score with Blue Claw in 1:51.4. Southwestern Dream was second with Bradley Scott third.
A gelded son of Jenna's Beach Boy, Blue Claw won his fourth straight and sixth in 12 starts this year.
