Points North is pointed for millionaire status.
The 10-year-old pacer, last seen in action at the start of September 2024, returned during the chilly session of qualifiers on Friday, Jan. 10 at Woodbine Mohawk Park. Driver Jonathan Drury hustled (or should we say, pointed) the son of Somebeachsomewhere - Northwest Hanover to the top from post six and set all the fractions ahead of a closely-following Neptune N (James MacDonald). After splits of :29, :58.4 and 1:27.4, Points North powered home in :28.4 for the narrow decision over a late-emerging Neptune N. The time of the mile was 1:56.3 for Points North, with Neptune N a head back in second.
Carmen Auciello conditions Points North, a career winner of 46 races with $998,778 in earnings, for Massachusetts-based owners Jim & David Winske.
