It’s now back-to-back wins and counting for Mister X, who went to the front and didn’t look back en route to an easy win in Monday’s $8,500 Preferred 3 for horse and gelding pacers at The Raceway at Western Fair District.
Robert Shepherd hustled Mister X to the lead from Post 2 and the gelding chopped out fractions of :27.4, :57 and 1:25.4 before using a :30.1 final frame to win by 1-3/4 lengths over Brodys Scapper in 1:56. Taking home the show dough was Irvine James.
Sent off as the 7-5 favourite, the six-year-old son of Mister Big-Maddam Luck won for the 30th time in his career while improving this year’s record to 6-7-4 from 37 starts. The career winner of $161,157, who hangs his harness bag in the barn of trainer Ken Oliver, is owned by Shirley & Kerry House and Kimberly Inglis.
