This morning, Snazzy Millie, the aged trotting mare with over $1.1 million in career purses, put in her first charted mile since July 26, 2008 during the six-race qualifying docket at a blustery Mohawk Racetrack.

Windy winter conditions were a major factor during the qualifying card. The judges rated the track as ‘good’ and assessed a four-second track variant.

Driven by Paul MacDonell for trainer Kevin O’Reilly, Snazzy Millie started from Post 7 in the nine-horse opening tilt.

MacDonell fired the 31-time career winner off the gate and sent the mare to the opening call five lengths the best in :29.2. The O’Brien Award winning reinsman and the 10-year-old Royal Strength mare opened up lengths along the backstretch and clicked off the opening-half call in :58.3.

The duo continued to hold a multiple length lead around the sweeping final bend. The brown lass clicked off three quarters in 1:29.2 seven lengths the best. That lead was reduced to one and a half lengths by the time Snazzy Millie hit the head of the lane.

In the end, a pair of closers got the better of Snazzy Millie and she wound up finishing third, beaten more than eight lengths. The 2006 Earl Rowe Memorial winner trotted her mile in 2:02.3.

Owned by Terry Devos of Langston, Ontario, Snazzy Millie has put it 164 career pari-mutuel starts and has compiled a record of 31-28-17. In total, she has banked $1,151,121 in purses. She took her mark of 1:53.1 over Mohawk at age seven.

A hard-knocking regular on the Woodbine Entertainment Group circuit, Snazzy Millie made the trek across the pond with driver Rick Zeron in 2006 to compete in the Elitlopp in Solvalla, Sweden.
