Barbra Ann and Kevin Switzer set a new track record at Scarborough Downs on Friday (8/27)
Now a perfect 9 for 9, the 2-year-old daughter of Goin to the Beach toyed with the field during the sultry late summer twilight card, setting torrid fractions while holding enough in reserve to establish a brand new Scarborough Downs track record for her age and sex, traversing the course timed in 1:58.1.

With just one sakes engagement remaining before the Maine Sire Stakes 2-year-old championships, Barbra Ann will properly be the one to beat come the big day. Stakes finals are to be carded on Sept. 12 at Scarborough Downs, post time is 1:30 pm.

Other stakes winners on Friday included Barbra Ann’s stable mate, Maeve (1:58.4), and Kim Ireland’s Ocean View Janet (2:01).
