Lil Bit Lil Bit wired the field over a sloppy track on Friday night at Woodbine Racetrack to make it two straight wins in the Apaches Fame Pacing Series for three-year-old colts and geldings
.
Driver Luc Ouellette sent the son of Rambaran - Little Bit Famous straight to command from Post 6 in the seven-horse field and raced uncontested on the lead through panels of :26.3, :57.2 and 1:27.4 in the single $20,000 division.
Lil Bit Lil Bit faced first pressure from favourite Terror Time (Randy Waples), who got within three-quarters of a length of the pacesetter at the top of the stretch. However, the leader used a :28.1 final quarter to hold off an onrushing Bruisers Brother (Mike Saftic) with Milliondollar Art (Mario Baillargeon) rallying from last at head stretch to grab the show spot in the 1:56 mile.
The winner returned $8.80 in notching his fourth win in seven starts this season for trainer Andrew Deleersnyder and owner Steven Deleersnyder of Windsor, Ont.
The $60,000 Apaches Fame Series final will go postward next Friday night at Woodbine with Lil Bit Lil Bit looking for the series sweep.
