Cool Jazz and Gussies Girl emerged victorious in both $20,000 divisions of the Whenuwishuponastar Pacing Series for 2-year-old fillies on Thursday night at Mohawk Racetrack.

In the opening split, it was Cool Jazz scoring a gate-to-wire win for driver Randy Waples in 1:56.1. The daughter of Rocknroll Hanover-Cool Yankee shot straight to the front from the outside post in the six-horse field and then cruised to a 4-3/4 length decision over Chocolate Truffle with Keystone Nell finishing third.

It was the first win in two career tries for the filly who was a $47,000 yearling purchase at last Fall�s Lexington Sale. Jason Libby does the training for owner Robert Leblanc of Ridgefield, CT.

In the second division, Gussies Girl made a quarter-pole move to command and then held off a pair of late challengers to win for driver Mike Saftic in 1:57.1. The daughter of The Panderosa-Gussies Place used a :28.1 final quarter to fend off Cams Cupid and Shesapurty Lady for the narrow victory.

Just a $10,000 yearling purchase at last fall�s Harrisburg sale, Gussies Place is now one for two in her brief career for trainer John Pentland and owner Synerco Ventures Inc. of Toronto, Ontario. She kicked back $5.30 for the win.

The Whenuwishuponastar Series will continue next Thursday night at Mohawk. (WEG)
