Cocktail Hour Equals Rockingham Record
Cocktail Hour demonstrated once again that she has a real affinity for the Rockingham Park racing strip as she tied the track record for four-year-old trotting mares on Sunday.
Her effort marks the third time she has set or tied a Rockingham record in two seasons.
Trained and driven by Ivan Davies, Cocktail Hour won the featured $12,000 Trot in 1:55.1 to tie the record set by Abbey Craig on September 3, 2005.
As a three-year-old filly, Cocktail Hour set the new record of 1:57 on June 29, 2007 and then tied her mark on July 18, 2007.
The Fourth of July holiday weekend at Rockingham proved to be record setting for four-year-old mares of both gaits.
On July 4th Fox Valley Sage set the mark for pacers when she crossed the wire in 1:54.4 and then two days later, Cocktail Hour tied the mark for trotters.
