Windsong Geant Swoops Them

Published: July 18, 2014 01:12 am EDT

An early break put Windsong Geant behind the eight ball in the early stages of the Thursday evening feature at Mohawk Racetrack, but he regained his composure and used a last-to-first move to win the $28,000 feature race in 1:53.

With Steve Condren in the bike, Windsong Geant rolled off stride past the quarter pole before landing back on the trot and chasing Mego Moss, Whiskey Tax and Bax Of Life through fractions of :27.1, :56.2 and 1:25. Windsong Geant was wheeled out wide coming out of the last turn, and his :26.3 closing kick worked to perfection as he drew clear to win by 1-1/4 lengths over Whiskey Tax. Catch The Dream rounded out the top three finishers in the six-horse affair.

Mark Herlihy trains the seven-year-old son of Kadabra-Early Secret for the Brabant Stable of London and Fred Brayford of Alliston, Ontario. It was the third triumph of the season for the 17-time winner who now boasts a bankroll that stands at $610,506.
