Tug River Princess won her 10th straight with a 1:55 score in the Blossom Series.

Driver John Campbell steered the overwhelming favorite to the front, yielded briefly to JK Reunited and then quickly reclaimed the lead before the half. Tug River Princess kicked away to a 2-3/4 length victory in 1:55.

The 3-year-old daughter of Badlands Hanover is undefeated in 10 career starts. Her five victories this season include a sweep of the Tender Loving Care Series at the Meadowlands.

The partnership of Let It Ride Stables and Robert Cooper purchased Tug River Princess from her breeder and previous owner Michael Tait on March 27, 2008. Ross Croghan trains the pacing filly.

The Blossom Series continues with a second leg on April 9 and concludes with an estimated $65,000 final on April 16.
