Last-to-first score for Handsome Mike filly

J’s Handsome Fana pulled the old ‘last-to-first’ trick with Ronnie Allen Jr. at Presque Isle Downs and Handsome Mike came away with his 11th winner this year.

Racing one mile and 70 yards, Allen settled the 3-year-old filly in seventh place for more than half a mile in the seven-horse field, and didn’t go after the leaders until making a four-wide move on the turn. J’s Handsome Fana remained wide heading down the lane, took the lead in mid-stretch and held off the closers to score by a neck. It was her first victory of 2019 and second of her career.
