World Record Set At Woodbine
Pacing mare Farmers Tuition etched her name into harness racing's record books by virtue of her win Friday night at Woodbine Racetrack.
Sylvain Filion guided the seven-year-old daughter of Apaches Fame to victory in 1:51, the fastest mile on record for a free-legged pacing mare.
Richard Moreau - who scored a training triple on the card - trains Farmers Tuition, a homebred owned by breeder Debbie Bird along with Montreal's Gerrie Tucker.
Another Ontario-bred, Zooka holds the record for harness racing's fastest free-legged mile on a five-eighths mile track by virtue of his 1:49.3 mile at Kawartha Downs. The sport's fastest free-legged performer of all time is Major Hottie, owned by Thornhill's Larocque Racing Stable Inc. Major Hottie scorched Woodbine Racetrack in May of 2010 with a free-legged mile in 1:48.3 .
Congratulations to all.
