Record-breaking speedster It’s Me Mom zipped to her seventh stakes victory on June 19th, winning the Satin and Lace Stakes at Presque Isle Downs by 3 1/2 lengths.
The chestnut daughter of Put It Back, who already has a six-furlong track record at Tampa Bay this year, once again flashed her brilliant speed, winning the 5 1/2-furlong event just 4/5 off the track record as the 7-5 favorite.
Breaking best of all from the nine-hole, It's Me Mom charged quickly to her usual position at the head of the field. Under top weight of 123 lbs., and giving up to 11 lbs. to each of her 10 rivals, It’s Me Mom set fractions of :21.2, :44.3 and :56.3 en route to a final clocking of 1:03.14 over the local Tapeta surface. This stakes victory was her 6th overall in 9 career starts at Presque Isle Downs.
Bred in Florida by Thomas and Jean Bosch, It’s Me Mom has now amassed a record of 18-11-2-1 and $538,800 for owner Thomas Bosch. She is trained by Lynne Scace, and was ridden to victory by regular rider Willie Martinez.
Put It Back is Florida's leading sire of stakes winners and stakes wins in 2012, and second leading sire by overall earnings. He stands at Bridlewood for $5,000 live foal.
