Margie's Intention splashed her way to victory in the Black-Eyed Susan.
Shortly after a substantial storm soaked the track at Pimlico, she overtook Paris Lily on the outside toward the end of the 1 1/8-mile race for 3-year-old fillies, winning by three-quarters of a length Friday. It was Margie Intenton's fifth straight race finishing in the top two, a streak that began when she won by nearly a dozen lengths in January at the Fair Grounds.
That race, like this one, was in sloppy conditions.
"We haven't had her that long, but she performed well on an off track this winter," trainer Brad Cox said. "I thought she moved forward today. It was a demanding race. She was under a ride turning for home and she finished the race off."
The storm darkened the sky above the track and delayed the Black-Eyed Susan for over an hour. The one remaining race after it was canceled.
