For trainer Chris Petrelli his 5-year-old mare has been the model of consistency this year, in 4 starts she has 2 wins and 2 place finishes, this afternoon she notched her third straight win at the Mighty M. Greg Merton blasted out of the gate aboard the out of town invader Greystone Natalio from post 4 to grab the lead from The Charging Moa N to reel off fraction of 28.3, 59. At the half Beauty Is Blind made her big move to the outside and was on top of the field, at the 3/4 in 1:29.1, still on the move Beauty Is Blind held off a tough Lacarmeliliana in 1:58.4 on a cold blustery afternoon. It was one of 2 winning drives on the card for Cory Stratton, finishing third was The Charging Moa N (Mike Merton)
On the card in race 6 saw a rare triple dead heat for place with Special Achiever, Sweet Ginger and Miss Quality all reaching the finish line at the same instant.
