Race 6 Comments: BETTYONTHEBEACH finished evenly in 1:58.2 mile a mile she likely needed returning to small track. 4-year-old is just 1 for 32 lifetime but does show some decent tries over Canadian half-miler on some brutally cold days earlier in the year and should only improve making second start for leading barn.
