Gostreet Rallies At Georgian
Gostreet returned to Georgian Downs on Saturday and rallied from the backfield to win the featured $15,000 Fillies & Mares Preferred Trot
.
Two weeks ago on August 8, Gostreet prevailed at Georgian in the Preferred event for the ladies, but faded to seventh at Flamboro Downs on August 16.
Tonight, the five-year-old mare trained and driven by Lyle MacArthur got away seventh from Post 4 as Lady Gambler (Mike Langdon) set up shop on the front-end. Gostreet moved into the outer flow after a :28.1 first quarter and remained in seventh position, fourth-over through the remaining splits of :59.1 and 1:28.1. Using a :28.1 final frame, Gostreet rallied from six lengths off the lead in the stretch to prevail by a half-length in 1:57.4.
Jtlady Strong (Jonathan Drury) raced first-over to finish second and Lady Gambler was third.
For Gostreet, the win was her 13th in 24 seasonal starts and 21st of her career pushing her earnings to $242,858. The daughter of Angus Hall-Rose Street Jewel is owned by Linda Wellwood of St. George and Tammy Aspden of Caistor Centre, Ont.
