The $50,000 Louisiana Filly and Mare Sprint closed out Louisiana Cup Day with a field of eight distaffers competing at the distance of six furlongs.
It was the 7-year-old Diamond Cutter, who sprinted home like young filly, who drew off convincingly for World War IV Racing crossing the wire in 1:10.96. Trained by Dwight Viator and ridden to victory by Joel Dominguez, the mare by Salute the Sarge was making her 38th career start.
“She is such a game mare,” said Viator. “Joel put a great ride on her.”
Tensas Thought was second, followed by Galaxy Thirtysix and Play Unified. The third defending champion on the card, P Boo, faded to eighth.
Diamond Cutter, at odds of 10-1, paid $23.00 for the win. She increased her bankroll to $345,625.
