Mischief night is Sears night at Pompano

Insofar as the Friday night daily double at The Isle Pompano Park was concerned, all you needed to know was which horses were sent out by the Kim and Jay Sears Stable to come up a winner.

Their big night began in the opening race, the $13,000 Fillies and Mares Open Handicap Pace. Lucy Lucy was teamed by 21-year-old Matt Kakaley on this occasion, and the 5-year-old daughter of Tough Sir-Small Change scored in 1:53.2 for her 11th win in 24 trips in 2009.

Completing the daily double was the $18,300 final of the Orange Blossom Series for Florida bred 2-year-old pacing fillies. The Sears outfit sent out a three-horse entry, and when Wally Hennessey moved Black Diamond Girl to the front after the 29.1 first quarter the outcome was never in serious doubt. The daughter of Six Of Diamonds-Money For Munchkin had a 28.2 closer in reserve to score easily in 1:56.4 for her fifth win in eight starts this year. Ownership of Black Diamond Girl is shared by Jay Sears with Penny and Bill Kelley of Fellsmere, Fla.

Pompano's top weekly trot also went to the gate on Friday night for a $13,000 purse. Battleshoe Victor and Bruce Ranger were sent off as the 2-5 choice and scored in 1:55. The 7-year-old Valley Victor-B Crysta gelding notched his eighth win in 18 starts this year for owner Michael Polansky and trainer Tom Harmer. (Pompano)
