Ryan Holliday went to the front and didn’t look back with longshot Jackstan in Monday’s $8,300 Preferred 3 for horses and geldings at The Raceway at Western Fair District.
Jackstan powered to the top from Post 2 and successfully sliced out speed splits of :28, :59.1 and 1:28.4 before using a :30-second closing quarter to win by a length over Blue Chip Sunshine in 1:58.4. Sweet Colt Of Mine took home the show dough.
Fred Maguire of Ailsa Craig, Ontario owns and trains the eight-year-old son of Island Fantasy-Mytoyboxisfull. The gelding improved his 2015 record to 4-4-3 from 34 starts with the win. The 18-time winner has banked more than $112,000 to date.
The late Super Hi-5 riddle went unsolved Monday night at The Raceway thanks to Jackstan's upset, and that means that a net pool of close to $9,000 will be carried over into Tuesday's early Super Hi-5 in Race 7 and the track is offering an instant gross pool guarantee of $25,000.
The Super Hi-5 has become one of the most popular wagers at The Raceway. It asks horse players to pick the top five finishers in order. If no one is able to select the winning combination the entire pool gets carried over into the next Super Hi-5 event.
