Trainer Mike Keeling will be busy Thursday night at Mohawk Racetrack as he send out four horses all

competing in stakes events.

Keeling will send out two starters in the $50,000 Bridger Trotting Series final and two starters in the Ontario Sires Stakes Gold eliminations for two-year-old trotting fillies.

Unabating has drawn post 10 in the final of the Bridger Trotting Series for driver Paul MacDonell. The son of Broadway Hall was a $55,000 yearling purchase and was Keeling's favourite two-year-old all winter and hasn't disappointed the veteran trainer. He has finished second in both his Bridger Trotting Series divisions but Keeling believes that Unabating's best stride will come in time.

"I'm trying to blend my horse to be ready for the Wellwood (William Wellwood Memorial Trot) and peak that night. I think Talespinner is ahead of that right now but hopefully we all catch up to him," said Keeling.

Keeling's other entry, Gotabgoodtoblucky has been a surprise to Keeling. The $8,000 yearling was a buy back for owner Karen Carroll and Keeling believes he might be the sleeper in the final.

"I think Karen (Carroll) believed in him all along. She called me and asked me to finish him off and she thought he had enough potential to be a nice colt but he had to be around other horses training. When I got him he was very green and I am kind of surprised because at the farm he acts very foolish but when he's at the track he's been nothing but professional," Keeling commented.

The son of Windsongs Legacy will start from post five with Steve Condren handling the lines for the first time. Gotabgoodtoblucky was victorious in his first division followed up by a second place effort.

Keeling will also send out Miss Janine and Walked Into Heaven in the Ontario Sires Stakes Gold eliminations for two-year-old trotting fillies.
