Icon Project earns easy win August 31st, 2009
Icon Project moved to the lead with more than a quarter-mile to run and drew away to a 13 1/2 -length victory in the $400,000 Personal Ensign Stakes for fillies and mares Sunday at Saratoga Race Course.
Julien Leparoux rode the 4-year-old Icon Project, who got even for a defeat last month in the Delaware Handicap at the hands of Swift Temper, the runner-up in the Personal Ensign. Icon Project ran 1 miles in 2:02.37 and earned $240,000 for owner Andrew Rosen. The Personal Ensign was the third win in six starts this year for the Marty Wolfson-trained filly.
Icon Project, the favorite, paid $5.60, $3.30 and $3.10. Swift Temper paid $4.80 and $4.20 and Morena, third of eight, paid $10.00 to show.
