Cimeronken Wires Flamboro Trotters
Following three straight second-place finishes in the $11,000 Preferred 2 Trot at Flamboro Downs, Cimeronken made it back to the winner's circle with a career-best effort in Saturday's feature race.
Driven by Travis Henry, Cimeronken went wire-to-wire in 1:56.4, winning by more than a length over slight favourite Winkys Pride (Scott Coulter) and first over challenger Tornado Tim (Daniel O'Brian).
His three previous wins this year occurred at Flamboro and Western Fair Raceway while competing at the Preferred 3 level. With 11 top-three finishes in 15 starts this year, Cimeronken has banked $34,760 in purses.
Daryl Roberts trains the five-year-old Ken Warkentin gelding for owner/breeder Denise Anderson of Mossley, Ont.
Saturday's $7,000 Preferred 3 was won by favourite Dragin The Wagon and driver Anthony Haughan. The four-year-old Angus Hall gelding persevered by half a length over Incredable Frank (Alfie Carroll) in a career-best 1:58 mile to earn his sixth straight win. Jeff Byron trains the streaking trotter for James, David and Michael Cantelon.
