Perfect Finish at Emerald Downs

Perfect Finish was never headed Saturday as she led all the way for an easy 7 ¾-length victory in the $18,000 allowance feature for fillies and mares at Emerald Downs. The 4-year-old Katowice filly is the younger sister of 2008 Longacres Mile winner Wasserman and shares the same connections as her big brother—owner-trainer Howard Belvoir and jockey Jennifer Whitaker. Perfect Finish ran 5 ½ furlongs in 1:03 2/5 on a sloppy track and paid $5.20, $2.60 and $2.10. A double stakes winner last fall at Portland Meadows, Perfect Finish has won 6-of-12 overall with earnings of $62,499.
