Marclif Victoria and driver Aaron Byron used second over tactics at the end of the race to eventually take top honours in the $25,000 Xtreme Marathon one and seven-eighths mile trot on Saturday night as part of Xtreme Horsepower at Georgian Downs.
With Trudel (J.R. Plante) leading the majority of the three-lap race, Byron had Marclif Victoria (Brylin Boyz - Marclfi Aislin) spotted second over with one lap to go. Down the backstretch, Byron tipped three-wide and bolted past the leaders, hitting the wire in 3:53. Like Bob Promised (Simon Allard) closed well for second with Nineanddevine (Steve Byron) finishing third.
