O Lucky Me proved to be more than just lucky in winning her maiden victory at Scioto Downs on Thursday in 1:56.4. Trainer-driver Chip Noble steered her to victory over Spectacular Myrt and Forever A Cowgirl. The winner was making her third lifetime start for breeder-owner Steve Jones of New York. The filly by The Panderosa is out of the good Artsplace mare Natchitoches p,3, 1:53.2 ($374,488). Earlier in the program, veteran Ohio horseman Billy Herman scored his third driving win of the season in a dozen starts when he drove Orage d’Avril to victory in 2:01.2. The 69-year-old Herman kept the 3-year-old son of Master Lavec within striking distance in the early going and then moved to the front in the final quarter. Orage d’Avril, owned by breeder Douglas Gingrich, defeated Hello Maddy and Lucky Job. (Scioto Downs)
