The trip was a tough one for Burn Em Up Burr in Saturday’s ‘winners over’ feature at Northside Downs, but that didn’t stop the gelding from finding his way to victory lane.
Burn Em Up Burr, who was dealt Post 6 in the six-horse affair, was fourth and parked at the quarter pole. He remained parked while positioned second at the half, but he muscled his way to the lead while still racing on the rim at the three-quarter pole in 1:29.4. Burn Em Up Burr stepped home in :30.1 to win for driver John Kennedy over Prada Spur and Southwind Ricardo.
Heather Hawkins of Sydney, NS trains and owns the six-year-old son of Whosurboy-Armbro Bailey who improved his 2017 record to 10-4-2 from 35 starts with the win. The 15-time winner has banked just shy of $63,000 to date.
