Dam Lucky Wins Closing Day Feature
Inverness Raceway wrapped up its 2021 season Monday evening, and fans were treated to an upset special in the evening’s featured affair.
Sent off at odds of 10-1 in the $2,150 ‘winners over’ feature, Dam Lucky went last to first to capture the main event for trainer/driver Ambrose Gillis.
Even-money favourite Betterthanbutter rolled to the top and carved out fractions of :29.1, :58.2 and 1:27.2. Dam Lucky, who commenced a rally on the way to the half, brushed to the lead at the head of the lane and prevailed by a half-length margin over Betterthanbutter in 1:57.1. Windemere Best Man took home third prize.
Dionne Gillis of Strathlorne, NS owns the six-year-old son of Camluck-Machbethslady who won for the third time this season and for the 15th time in his career. He recently surpassed $80,000 in lifetime earnings.
Redmond Doucet tacked on another victory to bring his track-leading total to 33 for the season, and thus earning him the title of top reinsman for 2021 while Donald Beaton’s two-win performance on the curtain-closing card lifted his yearling win total to 16. He bested runner-up James Copley by a trio of victories, and thus took home the title for the year.
