Beach Fire K Fires The Bullet At Cumberland
Up-and-coming reinsman Winter Asher-Stalbaum won the swiftest race of the day with Zack Vickerson’s Beach Fire K in 1:55.1 on Tuesday, Sept. 26 at Cumberland Fair.
The six-year-old son of Somebeachsomewhere, driven by the 19-year-old Asher-Stalbaum, made every call a winning one. While setting fractions of :27, :56.2 and 1:24.4, the pair gained eight lengths on the rest of the field through the third panel. Down the stretch, Make Some Waves (Walter Case Jr.) had shortened that margin down to a length before the wire arrived and the pacesetter prevailed. Trained and co-owned by Zach Vickerson with Haley Karken, he paid $10.80 to win the $5,200 conditioned pace. Make Some Waves finished second and Lexus With a View A (Chris Long) was third.
Airspinder won the $6,000 feature in 1:57.4 for driver Dan Deslandes and owner/trainer David Sawyer. He paid $4.80 to win.
Driver Chris Long won three races on the afternoon card, which was the third day of racing at the fair. Walter Case Jr. and Aaron Hall won a pair each.
