TORONTO, March 26, 2006 – Outlawed Beauty ($2.90, $2.50, $2.10) was shipped into the barn of trainer Casie Coleman to contest Woodbine Entertainment’s Damsel Pacing Series for three- and four-year-old fillies and mares, and she couldn’t have performed any better than what she did.

On Sunday afternoon at the Toronto oval, the four-year-old daughter of J K Outlaw notched her third win in as may tries for Coleman, posting a 1½-length victory in 1:52.4 during the C$120,500 final, sweeping the three-week series for lessees Joe and Joann Thomson of Chesapeake City, Maryland.

On Sunday afternoon Outlawed Beauty completed a sweep of the three-week Damsel Pacing Series at Woodbine.

Firing off her second-over position, 10-1 shot Armbro Caviar ($5.50, $4.00) finished well for driver Chris Christoforou and trainer Joe Stutzman, completing the $16.70 exactor. My Fine Lady ($4.70) had taken a third-over trip along the final turn and prevailed in a tight show photo for reinsman Keith Oliver and conditioner Bill McNeil, rounding out the $90.60 triactor.

Johnny Made Her had Paul MacDonell in tow and finished fourth, while Cowgirls N Indians, with Chris Christoforou at her lines, finished fifth.

Pilot Mark MacDonald was in the race bike behind Outlawed Beauty for the third consecutive week, and the favored duo left from post four in the 10-horse field.

Outlawed Beauty, a career winner of 15 races, left the gate well, but MacDonald allowed Dreams Are Great (and driver Jack Moiseyev, who started from the seven-hole) to take control of the front-end and lead the field to the opening quarter in :26.2.

Dreamless Hall and pilot Jody Jamieson made a quarter pole move from third and captured the front early in the second quarter.

Sitting third, MacDonald sent Outlawed Beauty first-over, and the duo stopped the half mile timer in :54.4 while still on the outside.

The key to Outlawed Beauty’s success in the dash came in the third quarter, where, after settling back along the pylons, the bay mare was able to get a nice breather before freezing the third stanza in 1:24-flat.

Outlawed Beauty was all business in the stretch, gliding home with a :28.4 final split before coming under the wire.

“Casie’s got all of her horses racing really well right now, but I was a little concerned at the half, but then I got a little breather in the third quarter and she responded well down the lane,” said MacDonald.

Outlawed Beauty was sensational last year as a three-year-old, posting a 10-5-5 record from 22 starts, good for $70,050 in the bank.

With her win Sunday, the Winbak Farm-bred now boasts a 3-0-1 resume from five starts in 2006.

The win gave MacDonald his third series victory of the season, as he previously triumphed in the Lifetime Dream with The Great Pacific and snared the Ontario Boys with Blue Burner.

Coleman has now conditioned two series winners in 2006, as Blue Burner is just one of the many competitive charges that parades out of her operation.

Coleman also noted that Outlawed Beauty has been paid up to contest the upcoming Huronia Series, which is just weeks away at Georgian Downs.
