Shady Sabrina, fresh off a dominating campaign on the mid-Atlantic circuit earlier this season, has now set up shop at Scarborough Downs and has quickly become the Queen of the Local Scene, having now captured three consecutive Free-for-All contests at the Southern Maine oval.

On Saturday, Shady Sabrina claimed victory in the $10,000 opening leg of the Mid-Summer Classic Pacing Series (with Kevin Switzer driving), and in the process bested a stellar field of accomplished stallions and geldings. Not only did this mare beat the boys, she also equaled the all-age distaff track record in the process.

Leaving hard from the get-go and never looking back, Shady Sabrina made every pole a winning one, en route to the scalding clocking of 1:55 flat. Today’s performance co-enshrines her in the record books with Gracie Gracie, who set the gold standard last July with, ironically, Kevin Switzer calling the shots back then, just as he did today. Today’s win marked the 10th seasonal victory for Shady Sabrina; the 61st of her magnificent career. Her lifetime earnings stand in excess of $410,000. Shady Sabrina is co-owned by the Golden Hour Stables of Providence, RI and the KDK Standardbreds of Cumberland, ME.

The Mid-Summer Classic continues next weekend with the $10,000 second round, culminating in the $25,000 final on July 17th. Post time 4 pm.
