DESPITE going off at odds of 10-1, trainer Fitzroy Glispie said he was never in doubt that his bay mare Francia’s Pride would win the Monday Morning Overnight Allowance event at Caymanas Park on Saturday.

Since coming to the Overnight Allowance level, Francia’s Pride has not done much.

However, on last over 10 furlongs (2,000m) on September 26, Francia’s Pride showed she was coming into her own when finishing second by three lengths behind Dontae in a time of 2:11.1.

Ridden by apprentice Reyan Lewis, Francia’s Pride from the break was up on the front end and stayed there in the three-year-olds and upward event.

Francia’s Pride, who hugged the inside rails, turned for home just behind the leaders after Bruce Wayne (Raddesh Roman) picked up the lead and was looking strong.

Lewis produced his mount and Francia’s Pride rallied to win by half-length ahead of Supertronics (Christopher Mamdeen) and Bruce Wayne. The final time for the nine furlongs and 25 yards (1,820m) event was 1:56.0.

“It was a good performance by her ( Francia’s Pride) to get the victory. The win was never in doubt, as Francia’s Pride has ability.

“After Francia’s Pride had beaten all with the exception of Dontae in her previous race in the Kenneth Mattis Memorial race in September, I knew in this field she would run a very good race. I am happy with her, as she is going in the right direction,” Glispie said.
