Aligning with Corey Callahan, Tuis Star sprinted away from Dancing Willow (driven by Jason Green) through an opening quarter of :30.4, and she was unopposed once she took control of the conditions. Tuis Star’s lead increased to five lengths when Dancing Willow broke out of the pocket heading into the 1:01.4 half, allowing eventual runner-up Suburban Lady (Troy Beyer) to inherit second spot.
Tuis Star maintained a four-length lead over Suburban Lady on the backstretch, accelerating to three-quarters in 1:32.2 before steadily expanding her margin of clearance until the closing stages of a 2:02 mile. Rainingrainbows (Allan Davis) finished third.
HOME STAR REPEAT
Trainer David Wiest co-owns four-time winner Tuis Star with non-age Don Wiest, who bred the filly to Edward Kimmel. The daughter of EL Platinum-Tui, who paid $2.20 to win, increased her career earnings to $88,120 after also winning October’s DSBF series at Harrington Raceway.
In the second division, Emerys Angel and driver Art Stafford Jr. a first-over push-up on the backstretch and eclipsed 1-5 favorite Wolfpack One (Troy Beyer) on the far bend before falling 4-1/2 lengths ahead of that rival to win in 2:01.4. Sheas Blustone (Mark King) finished third.
Trainer Stacy Johnson-Stafford owns Emerys Angel, a Top Flight Angel-Judy Luns filly who paid $11.20 in her first win, with Wyatt Starkey.
Rookie trotting fillies will compete next Monday (November 17) for the second round of their series, with the top eight points earners from both preliminary rounds meeting for a $110,000 final on November 24.
