Sister Otoole on the verge of $300,000

Sister Otoole came from last place to win yesterday’s listed $101,500 CTT and TOC Stakes and she now has won races at three of the most prestigious meetings in North America – Del Mar, Belmont Park and Gulfstream Park.

The 5-year-old Amira’s Prince mare bred by Joe and Helen Barbazon made a wide run on the turn in the race at 1 3/8 miles on the turf, and seemed to give up momentarily approaching the stretch. But Umberto Rispoli never gave up and he rallied her to a half-length victory and a check for $60,000.

Sister Otoole received a ’94’ Equibase speed figure for her effort, following a second place in the Robert B. Dick Memorial at Delaware Park, in which she received a ‘101.’ Clocked in 2:15.27, she has now earned $298,032 on a record of 3-5-3 in 17 starts.
