Handsome Mike gets winner No. 3 at Presque Isle

Handsome Mike’s third winner came at Presque Isle Downs last night via a game wire-to-wire performance by Scowling Ridge. The 2-year-old filly prevailed in a $27,000 maiden special at 5 1/2 furlongs, after putting up solid fractions of :22.33, :46.08 and :58.28. Tampa Bays Downs stalwart Ronnie Allen Jr. was aboard the filly owned and bred by Martin and Emily Goodell, who collected $16,200 for their filly’s first victory in three starts; she had finished second in her previous try. Scowling Ridge held off four rivals in the stretch, winning by one length with a final time of 1:04.66.
