With Rui Pimintel in the saddle, Chocolateforlunch sat just of the early pace and made a solid run through the stretch to get the victory.

“She’s just a real nice horse,” said Pimintel after the race. “I had to ask her a bit around the turn. I didn’t want the leader to get away.”

Chocolateforlunch, winner of two races here last year, and her last four in 09 covered the six furlong distance in 1:11.2.

Sent to post as the even money favorite the Lyle Morden trained runner paid $4.20, $2.60 and $2.10. Longshot Snow Rite, the early leader, held on for second returning $12.80 and $4.00 and set up a $31.50 exactor. Rosie Regent finished third returning $2.50, the triactor paid $131.80.

The Fort Erie Slots Cup is the first of a series of eight scheduled at Fort Erie this season. Up next is the Don Valliere Memorial Cup, one week from today, Sunday, July 26.
