Native Hotspur stayed undefeated in six starts this year when she held on for a nose in the $100,000 Maywood Pace final Friday night for driver Sam Widger and trainer Nelson Willis.
Widger sent Native Hotspur to the lead from post four and the 3-year-old filly by Ft Apache Hanover cut out the fractions before the stretch drive. Honey B Skipalong, who had enjoyed a ride in the pocket, was tipped out by driver Tyler Buter and made it a race, but Native Hotspur refused to be beaten and broke the beam in 1:55.4.
Native Hotspur put together a slate of 4-4-2 in 15 starts last year and took a mark of 1:53.1. Her fastest win this year is 1:53.2.
Richard Beere of Waterford, WI and Willis's wife, Cynthia, own Native Hotspur.
