LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A red-hot Tom Amoss closed out the latest week of racing at Churchill by winning the race-10 finale Sunday with first-time starter Hoosier Philly, a 2-year-old filly who was hammered down to even money as if she were already standing in the winner’s circle.
Hoosier Philly ($4.14) got a 75 Beyer Speed Figure in winning the 5 1/2-furlong race in 1:04.35 under Edgar Morales. The daughter of uber-sire Into Mischief waited not far off a swift early pace before surging to a 1 3/4-length triumph that seems to portend very good things for the future.
