Pink Pistol shot to the lead in a wire-to-wire performance in the $10,000 Goodtimes Invitational Trot Saturday, September 2 at Kawartha Downs, winning in 1:57.2.

Going fractions of :28.1, :58.4, and 1:27.4, Pink Pistol held off a late challenge from even-money favourite Amoureuse Hanover off cover to win by a length-and-a-quarter, with Justasmalltowngirl, caught first over for most of the mile, finishing third.

It was the second win in 12 tries this year for Pink Pistol, who is trained by Pete Shody for owners Knightstalker Stable of Oshawa, Ontario.

The Goodtimes anchored the inaugural Titans of Trotting night at Kawartha which celebrated the careers of three very talented trotters who started their careers at the five-eighths mile track in Fraserville and ended them with induction to the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame, Goodtimes, Billyjojimbob and San Pail.

The Billyjojimbob Trot was captured aptly by Murray Brethour, the regular pilot behind Billyjojimbob during most of his storied career for owner Lori Ferguson.

Rod Hughes, the trainer and co-owner of the great San Pail, Horse of the Year in Canada and the US in 2011, was on hand to make the presentation to the winner of tonight’s San Pail Trot, Ken Kan Win who gave Gassien a 1:57.4 ride.

There are three more race nights left on Kawartha’s 2017 calendar with racing back next Saturday, September 9 with a 7:00 p.m. post.
