Lots of Love Mom Wires Monmouth Feature

Bruno Schickedanz’s Lots of Love Mom took control right from the start and held off the late surge of Big John B to capture the $40,000 allowance/optional claiming feature at Monmouth Park on Saturday by a neck.

Trained by Yvon Belsoeur and ridden by Pablo Fragoso, Lots of Love Mom stepped the mile and a sixteenth over “good” turf in 1:43 flat and paid $15.80, $7 and $3.80.  Big John B completed the $61.80 exacta and returned $4.40 and $2.60.  It was another length and a quarter back to Global Asset, who closed to pay $3.40 to show.

A 6-year-old gelding by One Way Love from the Dance Brightly mare Mom’s Bright Star, Lots of Love Mom has won four of his 18 lifetime starts.

Live racing continues at Monmouth Park on Sunday, Sept. 15 – gates open 11:30 a.m., first post 12:50 p.m.
