Red-hot Aquitania ran her winning streak at Laurel Park to four on Dec. 1, proving to be much the best in a $40,180 allowance optional claimer at 5 1/2 furlongs over the main track. The 3-year-old Leroidesanimaux filly was three wide in fourth place early, made a steady advance into the stretch, and drew away by 3 1/2 lengths in an excellent 1:03.27.
Aquitania, the highweight with 123 pounds, has now won five of her last six, with the last four victories coming by a combined 11 1/4 lengths. With just eight starts behind her, the $23,370 paycheck increased her bank account to $87,297.
