R Averie Lynn wins 3rd in a row, surpasses $200,000

R Averie Lynn has won three in a row at Delaware Park, and is now a nine-time winner in her career, after Thursday’s wire-to-wire score by two lengths with Daniel Centeno in the irons.

The 5-year-old Gone Astray mare was never seriously threatened, getting the 5 1/2 furlongs in 1:05.70 and collecting a check for $15,000. Bred by Dancing Wind Stables, R Averie Lynn was a $25,000 OBS July 2-year-old; she has now earned $208,986 while raising her record to 9-12-3 in 35 starts. She has competed at 10 tracks, but eight of the nine victories have come at Delaware, and in this one, she paid $2.80.

In Puerto Rico, another Gone Astray mare, She’s Classy, came from behind to win by a neck at six furlongs. Bred by Craig Wheeler, she boosted her earnings to $105,263 on a record of 5-4-9 in 30 starts.
