MILTON, October 17, 2025— Ronnie Wrenn Jr. protected forward position with Ron Burke pupil Loua Dipa and registered a dominant 1:49.3 victory in the lone $34,250 Breeders Crown elimination for 2-year-old pacing fillies on Friday night at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Wrenn sent Loua Dipa, the 1-9 favorite, out of post 6 and found a brief pocket behind Perfect Thought to a :26.2 first quarter before looping to the lead. Odds On Monetary followed the chalk’s move and brushed to the top up the backstretch, at which point Wrenn promptly pulled Loua Dipa from the pylons to secure an outside lane into the far turn. Loua Dipa lunged to the front in the last turn and widened her advantage past three-quarters in 1:22 before Wrenn shut her down in the stretch and strolled in a 3-1/4-length winner. Stablemate Im A Lou Lou vaulted from near last to take second with 99-1 shot Bettor Be A Star finishing third and Sangria Summer taking fourth. On Heir, Shes A Bulldog, Twin B Fierce and Hunting Memories also advanced to the final.

But Loua Dipa, she was awesome. She’s all class. “I didn’t want to get caught in [and] I didn’t want to race too hard early,” Wrenn also said, “so I let Dex [Dunn with Odds On Monetary] go and waited as long as I could to move back to the lead. But like I said, she’s two figures to drive. She does everything I ask, and she was awesome. She was on her ‘A’ game tonight.” Fresh off a world-record 1:48 mile in Lexington, Loua Dipa snagged her eighth win from 11 starts and has now earned $540,228 for owner-breeders Burke Racing Stable LLC and Weaver Bruscemi LLC. The Sweet Lou-Looksgoodinaromper filly paid $2.10 to win. The draw for the $959,000 Grade 1 Breeders Crown 2-Year-Old Filly Pace will take place during the Saturday (Oct. 18) card of racing at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Daya and Seaside Shuffle took byes into the final. First-race post time at Mohawk is 6:35 p.m. (EDT). By Ray Cotolo Share This:Share
