Robert Shepherd went to the front with Wildwild Men in Thursday’s $8,500 Preferred 3 for trotters at Flamboro Downs, and they didn’t look back en route to a narrow triumph in the featured affair.
Wildwild Men left hard from Post 4 and had the field chasing him through intervals of :28.4, :59.1 and 1:29. He then used a :30.1 closing frame to win by a half-length margin over Majestic Brayden in 1:59.1. Azucar tagged along to finish third.
Isabelle Darveau trains the six-year-old son of Muscle Mass-Seeyouinthecircle for Quebec partners Catheline Pelletier of Mirabel and Chantal Gravel of St-Cyrille-De-Wendover. Sent off as the odds-on favourite, the gelding won for the second time this season and for the 19th time in his career. He’s banked over $210,000 to date.
