'Hurricane' Goes Back-To-Back In N.B.
J Rs Hurricane defeated New Brunswick's top pacers for the second straight week, this time at Exhibition Park Raceway on Saturday afternoon.
With Lonny Stokes catch-driving, J Rs Hurricane ($7) advanced first over from fourth in the $1,500 Winners Over feature to wear down the popular pacesetter, Stare Down, for the one and three-quarter length victory in 1:59.2. Skippy finished third in the five-horse affair.
The five-year-old Mach Three gelding was claimed for $7,000 by trainer Jean Charles Belliveau of Scoudouc, N.B. in his Maritime debut on May 24 at Charlottetown Driving Park and has been flawless since, earning wins at Fredericton Raceway and now Exhibition Park. Saturday's victory was his 15th lifetime.
