Elleofnxample produced a strategic surge that carried her to a 1:52.4 victory in
Thursday night's $9,500 featured eighth event at Vernon Downs.
Todd Frocione did the teaming for
trainer Tony Mondi and his father, Lon, in the week's Open contest for female pacers
as Elleofnxample ($15.20) rallied from fourth at the quarter with a first-over
move on the backstretch, then past the half, timed in :57.2, took command and
outlasted the fast-closing Glam Cam by
half-a-length at the finish.
