Lis Deo, Miss Scarlett impressive winners

Lis Deo, the half brother to world champion older stallion Lis Mara, put his own name in the record books Monday afternoon, capturing the Review Stakes-Little Pat for 2-year-old colt and gelding pacers in a stakes record 1:50.2. The time also equals the national season’s record.

Brent Holland sat third with the son of The Panderosa past an opening quarter in :27 before easily moving into the lead before the :55 half. The three quarters was passed in 1:22.3 and the colt continued to pull away from the field before crossing the finish line ahead of Vette Man and Tim Tetrick with Dinneratartsplace and Andy Miller third.

Trained by Ervin Miller, Lis Deo has won all three of his starts this year for owners the Classic Photo Stable, MJG Racing Stable, Hill View Enterprises and Andy Willinger.
