Unique Legacy wins 3YO Filly Pace split in 1:49.4

Unique Legacy, a 3-year-old filly pacer by Real Desire, took the spotlight Monday night at The Red Mile, winning her $25,000 division of the Kentucky Sire Stakes in 1:49.4

Ron Pierce was aboard for the victory for the Casie Coleman barn and owner Robert Hamather of Ontario, Canada. Last year’s KYSS champion Beachy Girl darted to the lead for driver Ricky Macomber just as the field settled past the quarter, but was used hard reaching the half in 54.3 and would fade to third.

Pierce had his filly tucked away in sixth in the early going, and waited to just past the three-quarter pole to unleash the filly with a wicked 26 second final quarter, pacing the mile in a blistering 1:49.4.

Btwnyurheartnmine was also used hard in the early going, but held on for a game second for driver Andy Miller, four and a half lengths back from the winner.

Ron Pierce was also aboard Body Surfing in the Monday night feature, the $50,000 first leg of the KYSS for three-year old filly trotters, where he picked up another one of his four victories.

The three-year old trotting fillies were the only group not to be split into multiple divisions over the course of the last two nights, when only nine dropped in the box.

Pierce got away second behind defending champion Debbie Hall and Mike Lachance, but retook with the daughter of Like A Prayer just past the opening quarter to coast home to an easy four length win in 1:57. Debbie Hall was able to hold second, while Annie Hall and Thomas Haughton closed well for third.
