Running Aces Action Continues
Running Aces’ Tuesday evening (June 12) live program saw the Nick Roland-driven Cantholdmebackmack ($5.40) capture a $10,000 upper-conditioned claiming pace by three quarters of a length in 1:53.1.
Roland and Cantholdmebackmack rallied from the back of the pack to notch to his second consecutive victory for his owner/trainer, Jessie Pacheco. The talented eight-year-old Relentless Yankee gelding notched his 22nd career victory with the win and pushed his career earnings to over $102,000.
After having initially finished second, the Margaret Audley-trained and James Yoder-driven Gold Star Mysti was placed first in the $11,000 Mares Open Handicap Pace after a 1:53.3 mile. The victory was the 12th career win for the Gold Star Farm-owned mare.
Driver Nick Roland led the program with three wins, while Rick Magee and James Yoder both posted driving doubles.
The 20-cent Jackpot Pick 5 wager continues to build and now stands at $7,333.63 for Saturday night (June 16). This weekend’s $20,000 feature races will be the Running Aces Trot on Saturday and the Running Aces Pace on Sunday. Post time on both Saturday and Sunday will be 6:00 p.m. (CDT).
