Spicegirl wannabe winner

Spicegirl Kosmos went from ninth to first to win Tuesday night's featured $14,000 final of the BJ's Treasure Series at The Meadows. Making up 10 lengths after sitting ninth at the half, Spicegirl Kosmos won in 1:59, besting runner-up Boopsie by 1 ¾ lengths. Sunbury Girl was third.



"I'd driven some of the horses in this race, so I thought it would get a little heated early," winning driver Dave Palone said of the daughter of SJ's Photo. "I'd used her hard the last couple weeks, and you hate to get these fillies in the routine of getting hot. I thought she laid over them, so I wanted to race her the right way. She has a terrific attitude, she's a good-gaited filly, she comes from a sharp barn, so maybe the sky's the limit."



Sent off as the 1-5 favorite, Spicegirl Kosmos provided some anxious moments for her supporters, including trainer Chris Beaver, who co-owns the trotter with David Lang.

"I knew Dave would take her off the trot, but I was a little worried when she was that far back," Beaver said. "Then she was so wide in the turn, but Dave said he was never worried."



Beaver acquired Spicegirl Kosmos as a yearling for $14,000. She is a full sister to Scully FBI, an outstanding performer in Pennsylvania Sire Stakes who went on to become one of the sport's top mare trotters. But a mysterious knee injury limited Spicegirl Kosmos's 3-year-old campaign to five starts.



"I was getting her ready for her first sire stake when she broke down on me," Beaver said. "She got sore in her right knee. We never figured out what it was, but she was too lame to race. We gave her stall rest, turned her out, and she came out of it."
