Making her debut at the Hamburg half-mile oval on May 22 with a half-length victory in 1:56.1, Miss Mary Mach (Jim Morrill Jr.) stepped up in class this week and had no issues in registering a 1-1/2 length decision over Sportsmuffler in 1:56.1.
Scoring from the four post, Miss Mary Mach ($5.30) was able to storm to the lead and set soft fractions of :29.1 and :59.3 to the half.
Morrill Jr. then got Miss Mary Mach into overdrive the final two panels, using a :56.3 last half to nail down the victory. Sportsmuffler (David McNeight III) took the second place position while Sarah Cola (Ray Fisher Jr.) was third.
Co-owned by the Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC, it was the sixth win in 16 outings for the 4-year-old mare Miss Mary Mach (Mach Three-Mary Artman). The triumph moved her seasonal earnings to $38,432 and $73,165 lifetime.
Morrill Jr. completed the evening with a triple while trainer James Clouser Jr. collected a double.
Racing will continue on Friday evening at 5 p.m. with a nine-race program set. There's a $1026 carryover in the Pick-5 which begins in the second race.
