Win Missy B made every call a winning one en route to victory in the first of two $28,426 Reynolds Memorial divisions for three-year-old filly trotters on Friday night at the Meadowlands Racetrack.
Brian Sears drove the Conway Hall lass to a three and a half length tally over Dorsay in a career best 1:52.4. It was five lengths back to Riverfest in third. The overwhelming favourite, Win Missy B returned $2.20 in the second race.
