Rainbow Blue, driven by Ron Pierce, is now a perfect six-for-six in 2004.

East Rutherford, NJ — Rainbow Blue ($2.60, $2.20, $2.10) extended her winning streak to 10 with a one length victory over Majestic Eagle ($3.20, $2.10) in the second race, the first of three $25,000 New Jersey Sires Stake divisions, on Friday night at the Meadowlands. Female Champs ($2.10) was third, three and three-quarter lengths behind the winner.

Rainbow Blue, driven by Ron Pierce and trained by George Teague, Jr., is now a perfect six-for-six in 2004 and the winner of 12 of 13 lifetime starts. She paced the mile in 1:521.

The three-year-old pacing filly, a daughter of Artiscape — Vesta Blue Chip, has banked $229,554 lifetime for the Delaware partnership of K&R Racing LLC and Teague Inc.

Rainbow Blue’s only career loss came when she finished third by a neck in the $150,000 New Jersey Sires Stakes Final last July 9.

Glowing Report won a New Jersey Sires Stakes division by a length and three-quarters over Ted’s Girl.

This year, the bay filly swept the three-week Blossom Series at the Meadowlands and then traveled to Michigan where she also won the elimination and final of the Roses Are Red at Hazel Park.

“She was a little bumpy tonight,” Pierce said. “But she had a ton of pace and was very sharp.”

Rainbow Blue is being pointed toward the $350,000 (est.) Mistletoe Shalee on August 7 at the Meadowlands.

In the other two New Jersey Sires Stakes divisions for three-year-old pacing fillies, Glowing Report ($4.20, $3.40, $3.00) scored by a length and three-quarters over Ted’s Girl in 1:511 and R Burning Desire ($6.20, $3.40, $2.40) won by four lengths over Apple Krisp in 1:51 flat.
