Amira’s Prince filly uses all her tools in $92,000 allowance score at Belmont Park

Sister Otoole became the third runner by Amira’s Prince to break the $100,000 mark in earnings via a strong closing rally in a $92,000 allowance race on the grass at Belmont Park.

The 4-year-old filly bred by Joe and Helen Barbazon was ridden by Luis Saez in the race at a mile and a quarter on the inner turf course. Off at odds of 9/2, Sister Otoole broke alertly and was sitting a comfortable third on the inside early on the backstretch, about six lengths from the leaders.

She dropped even further back after half a mile in :47.98, then uncorked a powerful wide run on the turn, gamely assumed the lead in deep stretch and held off three would-be closers, winning by a length in 2:02.55.

The check for $50,600 raised Otoole’s bank account to $109,156 on a record of 2-2-3 in 8 starts.
