Intheblinkofaneye pushed his win streak to six for trainer-owner Rene Allard with another front-striding score in the $15,000 Preferred 2 Pace at Georgian Downs on a snowy Saturday night.
With Brad Forward catch-driving, the eight-year-old Cole Muffler gelding fired to the lead from the outside post seven and was pressured through fractions of :27, :54.3, and 1:22.3 by slight favourite Machal Jackson (J.R. Plante) before drawing off by four lengths for an impressive 1:51.4 triumph. Survival Guide (Paul MacKenzie) finished second off a pocket trip while Harnessnitencanada (Scott Coulter) closed from the backfield to edge out Machal Jackson for third.
Intheblinkofaneye returned $4.70 to his backers.
After winning three consecutive races at Rideau Carleton Raceway in November, Intheblinkofaneye took on the Preferred competition at Georgian where he's strung together three more victories since. He now boasts 21 career wins and earnings totalling $253,779.
