Batavia, NY --- Popular pacing mare Southwind Prairie is set to bid adieu to the racetrack when she makes her final career start in race ten on Wednesday night (Nov. 30) at Batavia Downs Casino.
 
The Bettor's Delight-Prettytrickynikki 7-year-old mare has 145 starts under her belt with a record of 23 wins, 21 seconds, 31 thirds and lifetime earnings of $285,561. She took her 1:54.2 mark as a 3-year-old at Northfield Park.
 
Her career highlight came when she won a $113,505 New York Sire Stake event for 3-year-old fillies at Monticello with Greg Grismore in the bike for trainer Andy Rickert. She also won the Patsy C. Rapone Memorial at 2 for trainer/driver Steve Schoeffel.

Nice little mare. I trained her for exactly 1 month this year after we claimed her for 12,000. She had 2 questionable tendons but a huge heart. I knew the old connections would take her back, which they did. She was classified perfectly and somehow, no one ekse claimed her. Congrats to all involved on a great racing career.
