Brewhouse backed up a dominant debut win with a stakes victory Saturday night when she edged She’s My Warrior by a neck in the $60,000 Frances Genter at Canterbury Park.

The race for 3-year-old fillies was one of four stakes on the card. The races were all restricted to horses bred in Minnesota. Handle on the 10-race card was $3,229,658, which is the fourth-highest handle in track history, according to a press release from Canterbury.

Brewhouse set fractions of 21.72 seconds for the opening quarter and 44.42 for the half-mile, before completing six furlongs on a fast track in 1:10.41.
