Action Returns To The Border Oval
Harness racing returned to Windsor Raceway on Sunday evening, and the border oval treated its fans to a 12-race program that featured a pair of Preferred events for pacers.
Talk Dirty To Me rolled to a 10-1 upset in the $10,000 Preferred #1 Pace for trainer Zaim Cunmulaj and driver Kevin Hough.
The four-year-old son of Keystone Raider, who rocketed to the lead from Post 8, rolled the field through panels of :26.1, :55.4 and 1:24.4 before finishing off his eight pacing counterparts with a :27.3 final frame.
The 1:52.2 clocking was a career-best clocking for the 11-time winner, who defeated Biletnikoff and the odds-on favourite, Action Figure.
John Grozenski of Clarkston, MI owns the gelding, who bumped his overall bankroll to $109,204 with the win.
Mcrileymac posted a 1:54.3 win in the $7,200 Preferred 2 Pace for the team of driver Gene Piroski and trainer Joe Nantais.
The six-year-old son of Bo Knows Jate came first over and drew away to win by just over two lengths for owner Ellie Mayhew of Windsor, ON. Prince Val was second best and Haulin Oars took home the show dough.
The pacer won for the fourth time this season and for the 17th time in his career. The lion's share of the purse pushed his earnings in excess of $140,000.
