Test Of Faith towers over Crown fillies
Test Of Faith was one of the premier fillies in North America as a 2-year-old, but did not race in the Breeders Crown last year. The Art Major filly perhaps lost the division title last year for that reason, but likely won’t be ignored in the discussion for year-end honors as a sophomore after an awesome stretch rally and 1:49.4 victory in the $600,000 Breeders Crown for 3-year-old pacing fillies on Saturday afternoon (Oct. 30) at The Meadowlands.
