Northfield Park hosted the Scarlet And Gray Stakes
for veteran Ohio-breds Saturday night and the evening started
with a bang as Dave Palone steered Toms Ok Lady ($2.20) to a
track-record equaling 1:56 win in the $32,000 Mare Trot.
The record she tied was her own, set in last year’s Scarlet
And Gray. B Vs Sister set the fractions, but Palone pulled the
Ron Burke-trainee from third at the three-quarters to collar the
pacesetter in the final strides. That Flyn Angel was third. Toms
Ok Lady is a seven-year-old daughter of Inquirer, owned by the
partnership of Burke Racing, M1 Stable, Weaver Bruscemi Llc, and
Bethann Palone. She has won six of 17 starts this year, earning
$99,490 of her career $628,087 career bankroll this year.
