There's No Place Like Home
After shipping away from New Brunswick and finishing off the board in his last outing, HP Bushido Dragjet showed an affinity for home cooking and creature comforts with a solid effort in Saturday's feature at Exhibition Park Raceway.
With John Davidson aboard for the $1,500 Winners Over feature, HP Bushido Dragjet played catch-me-if-you-can with his four rivals. Spolier: they could not, and they did not. After fractions of :30, :59.3 and 1:30, HP Bushido Dragjet sprinted home in :29.3 to trip the timer in a seasonal best 1:59.3. Chasen Cancun (Todd Trites) chased the leader from the pocket but finished two-plus lengths in arrears with favoured Bugger Max (Mark Haig) completing the triactor.
Wayne Watson trains HP Bushido Dragjet (Jeremes Jet - Dragonosa) for owner Keith Camick of Willow Grove, N.B. The pacer picked up his 13th lifetime victory to lift his earnings to $47,599 lifetime.
