Goldstar Rosie one step closer to $100,000 bonus

Two-year-old pacer Goldstar Rosie ($2.60) posted her sixth win out of seven starts on Friday at the isle casino & racing at pompano park, capturing the $26,250 Florida Sale Stake for fillies.

Driver Dan Clements moved Goldstar Rosie quickly from mid-pack to take the early lead and paced over to the quarter in .28.  With Bling (Mel Turcotte) settling in the pocket, Clements steered the field to the half in 58.3.  As they headed over to the three-quarters in 1.27.4, Goldstar Rosie was in full command as they turned for home and hit the wire in 1:55.3, winning by 2 ¼ lengths. 

During the mile the filly had broken her left front hobble.  “Had I known that the hobble was broken I might of pulled her up,”  said  Dan Clements.

“This horse has heart and we are so proud of her,” said co-owner Jamie Marra.

The Rock On-Eileen Filly pacer is eligible for the $100,000 bonus for winning all four Florida Sire Stakes Finals from the Florida Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association and the Isle Pompano Park.

Goldstar Rosie is co-owned by Beth Levine and Trainer Tom Audley.
