Forest City Pace Drawn

Published: October 26, 2010 01:55 pm EDT

The richest race for mares at Western Fair Raceway in 2010, the $167,000 Forest City Pace, has been drawn and will head postward Saturday, October 30

at London, Ont. half-mile track.

Judging by last week’s eliminations, the final should be a very competitive event. Breeders Crown winner Dreamfair Eternal battled with APs Money Maker in their elimination with the former having prevailed by a head.

Owned locally by breeder John Lamers of Ingersoll, Ont., Dreamfair Eternal is the richest performer in the field with $1.5 million on her card, $800,000 of which was earned this year. She’s drawn Post 8, which is the trailing post position at Western Fair. Randy Waples has been listed to perform the driving duties.

A Ps Money Maker, has evolved into one of Canada’s top pacing mares, as evidenced by her recent record-setting performance at Mohawk Racetrack in the Mares Open Pace, where she won in a time of 1:49.1. She’s drawn the rail and Rick Zeron has been listed to drive.

The second elimination last week was taken by Voelz Hanover, who cruised to a two-length 1:54.4 victory for Mario Baillargeon. A winner of $244,000 this year and just over $900,000 in her career, 'Voelz' finished second to Dreamfair Eternal in the Breeders Crown early this month.

The five-year-old daughter of Astreos is owned by Richard Berthiaume of Quebec and will start from Post 7.
