Fighting on the point for the whole mile, Lincolnjames maintained control through the wire to take the $11,500 Preferred 2 Pace on Sunday, Dec. 23 at Flamboro Downs.

Driver Anthony MacDonald sent the Harry Poulton trainee towards the front and cleared early leader Imsporty following a :28 opening quarter. Favourite Drunkonaplane, positioned fifth, tipped first over as Lincolnjames paced to the half in :56.4 and advanced to within a length of the lead by three-quarters in 1:24.4.

Through the stretch Drunkonaplane dug into the temposetter, inching towards the front heading to the wire but finishing short of victory. Dark Horse, riding the rail, slid into third.

The seven-year-old Mach Three gelding sat sixth as Boomboom Ballykeel paced to a :28 opening quarter and to a :58.2 half. Hidden Potential, first over heading to the half, stalled through the backstretch and forced Brodys Scrapper to tip three wide moving towards three-quarters in 1:27.

Brodys Scrapper circled competition to race a neck off the leader turning into the stretch. The Rachel Andrew trainee strolled through the stretch as Uf Bettors Hanover, off a pocket trip, took second from Boomboom Ballykeel settling for third.
