Ft. Washington, MD — With an easy 4-3/4 length victory, Mymymylookatherfly ($4.60, $2.60, $2.80) won the $6,500 featured pace for fillies and mares at Rosecroft Raceway on Saturday night (September 22) in 1:52.4.

The 4-year-old daughter of Real Artist, owned by Tom Cooke of Maryland, took the lead before the opening quarter to direct the field through fractions of :27.2, :56.3 and 1:24.3. Driven by Jim Morand, the mare closed with a :28.1 last quarter as the 6-5 betting choice. Roger Hans trains the mare, who now has a line of 4-9-4 across the board from 27 seasonal starts.

Asian Paradise N ($5.40, $5.00) closed well for second, attempting a first-over move with John Wagner at her lines. The 7-year-old Beach Towel mare left the gate from post three to make up ground after the half. Manley Brown, Jr. trains the mare for the Robert Cooper Stables LLC of Florida.

Third under the wire was Magical Snowflake ($2.20), after being shuffled back along the rail through fading traffic. The 5-year-old Magical Mike mare, driven by Jeff Fout for owner-trainer Sharon Clark, was able to make up late ground in the stretch with a :28.2 last quarter.

The trifecta, coming in 4-3-1, paid $107.20.
