After going 6-for-6 in the Maritimes to kick off his career, Big League took his show on the road to Woodbine Racetrack on Monday evening
. Despite the talent pool being deeper, the rookie managed to keep his undefeated streak intact in his debut for trainer Jack Belliveau.
Big League marched to the top for driver Mike Saftic and clicked off fractions of :27, :57 and 1:26.1 before using a :29.1 closing to panel to win by a neck over Air West Hanover in 1:55.2. Riding With P rounded out the top three finishers.
“I thought he was up to that, and I think he’ll be even better racing out of a hole next time,” said driver Mike Saftic.
Previously trained by Sean Dooley, the two-year-old son of Four Starzzz Shark-Bolero Tam Tam bumped his lifetime earnings to $23,940 with the victory. The colt is owned by Dooley Boys Racing Stable of Halifax, NS and Cheryl Geldart Greer of Norton, NB.
