Perfect Photo remains perfect in 2010

Perfect Photo remained perfect in 2010 following her win in the $20,000 Stallion Series for three-year-old trotting fillies at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs Monday evening.

Trained by Julie Miller and driven to victory by Andy Miller, Perfect Photo stopped the timer in 1:57 in the third division of four of The Stallion Series at the Northeastern Pennsylvania racetrack.

Miller went after the leader starting at the clubhouse turn and became the new leader trotting down the backside. Perfect Photo got to the three-quarter marker in 1:27.1 and won by a length and ¼ over Pearly Princess (Tom Jackson).
