Shartin N Goes The Distance

Published: October 27, 2018 09:24 pm EDT

Tim Tetrick pressed the pedal early with Shartin N in the $270,000 Breeders Crown Mare Pace, and the Jim King, Jr. trainee rolled to a gutsy score in 1:52 despite feeling pressure for much off the mile.

Shartin N blasted out from Post 2 and successfully sliced out fractions of :26.1, :54.3 and 1:23 before finishing off her foes with a 29-second closing quarter. She stopped the clock in 1:52 to defeat Caviart Ally and Pure Country.

Sent off as the 1-2 favourite, the five-year-old daughter of Tintin In America-Bagdarin improved her 2018 record to 18-1-0 from 23 trips to the track this season. The 25-time winner has banked $1,089,280 for owners Richard Poillucci or North Easton, MA and Joann Looney King of Harrington, DE.

The Open Mare Pace was one of 12 lucrative finals on a star-studded 2018 Breeders Crown night at Pocono featuring most of harness racing's top participants. Read about the rest of the stakes action in the 2018 Breeders Crown News Centre.
