The trip was sweet and the end result was even sweeter for B Yoyo who captured Monday’s $34,000 Preferred Trot in 1:54.3 at Woodbine Racetrack.
B Yoyo got away fifth in the six-horse affair while race favourite Will Take Charge shot to the front and put up first-half fractions of :26.4 and :56.2. He was pressed hard around the final turn by Odds On Amethyst, with B Yoyo tracking cover from second over for driver Doug McNair. B Yoyo kicked off cover in the lane and used a :29.2 closing panel to win by a length over Odds On Amethyst. Will Take Charge faded late and settled for third prize.
