Sitting a pocket trip, Richard Moreau-trainee Hldontghttoyurdrms popped pocket around the final turn, progressing to a seven-length victory in the $8,500 Preferred 3 at Flamboro Downs on Saturday, November 4.
Positioned behind pacesetter Waikiki Hanover, Hldontghttoyurdrms, the 2-5 favourite, remained the closest threat to the leader through fractions of :28.2, :57, and 1:27, with the nearest competitor being Hetties Commander seven lengths off the lead. Turning for home, driver Bob McClure pulled Hldontghttoyurdrms to take the lead and kick away to a three-length advantage in the stretch. Waikiki Hanover, shortening in stride, settled for third as Ole Jack Magic rallied into contention late to take second off a rail trip.
An eight-year-old gelding by Muscles Yankee out of the Malabar Man mare Sweet Gabriella, Hldontghttoyurdrms, owned by Frank Spagnolo, won his 31st race in 151 starts, amassing $459,250 in earnings. He paid $2.70 to win.
