'Lisa' third in return

Lisa's Booby Trap, who became one of the best stories in the racing world over the summer at Saratoga, finished third in her return to the races this afternoon at Finger Lakes.

The one-eyed, club-footed filly, who is named partially for owner/trainer Tim Snyder's late wife and partially for a gentlemen's club in Florida, won the first three starts of her career at Finger Lakes before shipping to Saratoga to take the overnight Loudonville Stakes. The filly attracted a sizable fan following and attention from the media; a crew from Dateline NBC followed Snyder and his star around the track the day of the Riskaverse Stakes. But in that race, her first on the turf, she never fired and finished last.

Lisa's Booby Trap was sent off as the heavy favorite in a field of five in today's $25,000 allowance. The filly made a threatening move on the turn but couldn't catch winner Bob's Dylan, settling for third.
