Laura Perino and Bruce Aldrich have been having a very good week thus far, on Monday the pair took the Open for Fillies and Mares with Aberden Seelster, this afternoon their Hestons Lucky Chip held off a determined Little Power in 1:55.4. This week Aldrich decided to cut the mile with splits of 28.3, 59.1 and 1:27.4, Little Power who was out at the half and paced his 3rd quarter parked in 28.3, was in high gear for McGwire Sowers, pacing his last quarter in 27.4 to just miss the win losing by a head to Hestons Lucky Chip. It was the fourth win of the year for Hestons Blue Chip, all of his wins have come in the Open Class.
