good deed wins fg’s mardi Gras stakes
By
NEW ORLEANS (Tuesday, February 12, 2013) – Richard, Bertram and Elaine Klein’s Good Deed, heroine of Fair Grounds’ $48,000 Letellier Memorial Stakes in 2011 as a 2-year-old, returned to her winning ways at the local oval on Fat Tuesday with a definitive one-length victory in the $75,000 Mardi Gras Stakes for older fillies and mares at six furlongs.

Good Deed, a daughter of Broken Vow who had not run since finishing fifth in the Grade III Winning Colors Stakes at Churchill Downs last June 12, returned mutuels of $7.20, $4 and $3, toured the three-quarter mile distance in 1:11.12 after accomplishing early splits of 22:12 and 45.70 while making the pace and increased her career earnings to $201,143 with her fifth victory from nine lifetime starts.
“I worried she might have been a little rank the first part of it,” said Margolis, “but she broke so easily I wouldn’t have wanted Shaun to discourage her. I thought he rode her great.”
Martin Racing Stable and Dan and Deb Morgan’s Beat the Blues, always well placed, continued willingly late to gain the place, paying $3.40 and $2.60, while finishing a head to the good of Adele Dilschneider and Claiborne Farm’s Ire, who returned $2.60.
Racing resumes Thursday at Fair Grounds with a nine-race program beginning at 1 p.m.
