Red Mile: Sophomore pacers clash in Corbin Sires Stakes

Three-year-old pacers of both sexes hit the track on Sunday afternoon at The Red Mile in three $30,000 Corbin Sires Stakes events.

Style For A Mile (Dexter Dunn) gave trainer Tony Alagna a sweep of the top two spots, and Fly Like An Angel ended up third.

In the other showdown for fillies, Msdinosis Blugrass (Tony Hall) led at the 28 2/5 opening quarter, then yielded to Lookatmyrapsheet (Bongiorno) going to the 56 2/5 half. Lookatmyrapsheet remained in command to the 1:25 4/5 three-quarters and into the lane, but Msdinosis Blugrass surged in the final eighth and went by Lookatmyrapsheet at the wire to tally by a nose in 1:52 3/5. Lock Bridge (Zeron) closed well for third.

Trained by Donald Brock, Msdinosis Blugrass is a daughter of JK Endofanera owned by Luel Overstreet and bred by Smith Racing Stable.
