Raintree Starlet makes Dixie Belle her third consecutive win

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. - Raintree Starlet knocked out her third straight win Saturday in the $100,000 Dixie Belle at Oaklawn Park with a one-length victory over Lady T N T.

It was a neck back to Unholy Alliance in third.

The Dixie Belle was a six-furlong race for 3-year-old fillies.

Raintree Starlet ($13.40) sat just off Lady T N T, who set fractions of 22.45 seconds for the opening quarter and 46.03 for the half-mile. The eventual winner moved to the fore in the stretch and went on to cover the distance on a fast track in 1:10.82.

Alex Canchari was aboard Raintree Starlet for trainer Brian Williamson.

Raintree Starlet began her streak in her second career start, when she won a maiden special weight at Hawthorne by eighth lengths Jan. 4. She backed up the performance with a sharp first-level allowance score Jan. 25 at Oaklawn.

Raintree Starlet is a daughter of Get Stormy. She races for her breeders, Nancy Vanier and Horseplayers Racing Club.
