Delaware, Oh--Emotional Rescue equaled the North American 
Season's Record of 2:00 flat in winning Tuesday afternoon's 
$49,972 Standardbred 2YO Filly Trot by 11 lengths at the 
Delaware, Ohio County Fair. 

    The aptly named filly, whose sire is American Winner, blew 
out nine rivals for driver David Palone. Emotional Rescue 
surged ahead by six lengths coming out of the first turn 
and added to her advantage throughout the mile. The clocking 
of 2:00 equaled the fastest mile by a juvenile filly this season 
on a half-mile track and was a second off the stakes record.

    Emotional Rescue is trained by Bruce Riegle and owned 
by London Farms of Lebanon, NJ and Wayne Jacobs of Edison, NJ. 
The $24,986 winner's share of the purse pushed the filly's 
career winnings to $172,426.  The Hanover Shoe Farms-bred filly 
has three wins in seven starts including a second place finish 
in the $417,000 Merrie Annabelle at The Meadowlands.

    Emotional Rescue paid $3.60, 2.10, 2.20; Armbro Wealthy 
$3.40, 4.00; and Wac $2.40.
