flashy campaign wins sunday at FG
Becomes ‘One to Watch’ in Upcoming 3-Year-Old Filly Series
By Graham Ross, Staff Writer
NEW ORLEANS (Sunday, Nov. 25, 2012) – Jerry Namy’s first-time starter Flashy Campaign, a precocious 2-year-old daughter of Political Force, stamped herself as one to watch in Fair Grounds’ upcoming sophomore filly series with her handy win in Sunday’s fourth race.
The first leg of the
Trained by Tom Amoss and ridden by Leandro Goncalves, Flashy Campaign prompted the pace of Twin Creeks Racing Stable’s Abundantly Clear, took command from that rival when set down for the drive and drew off late for a 4 1/2-length tally.
The winner paid $8.20, $3.80 and $2.60 and earned the $27,000 winner’s share of the six-furlong sprint. She toured the distance in 1:11.38.
Pacesetter Abundantly Clear, who posted early splits of 22.04 and 46.08, could not stay with the winner when challenged but held down the second spot at the wire, paying $3.60 and $2.40 while finishing three-quarters of a length in front of Dede McGehee’s Glitteronthehiway, who returned $2.40 to show.
Racing resumes Thursday at Fair Grounds with a nine-race program beginning at 12:40 p.m.
