Trombetta sweeps Conniver exacta

The Michael Trombetta-trained duo of Kiss the Girl and Lookin Dynamic completed the exacta in the $75,000 Conniver for Maryland-bred filly and mares at seven furlongs last Saturday at Laurel Park.

“I was a little concerned because the plan was to run her [Kiss the Girl] in an allowance race about a month before and the race never went,” said Trombetta. “We didn’t want to ship her out of town so I had to train to the stake.”

Lookin Dynamic sprinted for the first time since her debut and rallied stoutly.

“I’m very proud of her. She ran good. I was just basically taking a flier with her,” Trombetta said. He mentioned her versatility when considering future options. “I think she’ll do seven-eighths, two-turns, and I think she’ll do turf as well.”
