Tough Night For Chalk At Mohawk

Published: September 13, 2016 11:58 pm EDT

Tuesday night's card at Mohawk Racetrack featured a parade of upsets with only one favourite coming through, and that one at the narrowest of margins.

In the night's first race Holiday Promise ($3.20) delivered on the pari-mutuel promise made to her backers with a maiden-breaking 1:57.4 score for driver Trevor Henry. She held on by a head over stablemate and 30-1 longshot Lady Grey.

Paul Reid trains Holiday Promise (Holiday Road - Promisemespring) for Rick & Regina Beinhauer of Venetia, Penn.

For the next ten races, favourites faltered. The most shocking of those upsets came in the seventh race when Moonlight Cocktail lit up the toteboard with a 58-1 stunner from Post 10.

James MacDonald engineered the upset with Moonlight Cocktail (Kadabra - Angostura) for trainer John Bax and Richard Gutnick of Blue Bell,Penn and T L P Stable of Kearny, N.J.
