Amazon Art had it all his own way on Friday night at Flamboro Downs as he front-stepped his way to victory lane in the $15,000 Preferred 2 Pace
while kicking off a driving hat trick for James MacDonald.
With favourite Georgetown N (Travis Henry) making a break from the inside post position behind the gate, second choice Amazon Art fired to the lead from the second starting spot and cruised past fractions of :28, :57, and 1:26.2 en route to victory in 1:55.2. My Man Charley (J. Bradley Harris) finished over one length behind off a pocket trip while Val America (J.R. Plante) rallied wide from the back of the pack to show.
Amazon Art paid $8.20 to win. The Artsplace-Can Du River gelding has now won half of his eight starts as a six-year-old and over $30,000 for trainer Randy Van Meer and owner Harry Locke of Oshawa, Ont. Lifetime, he won 21 times for earnings totalling $258,940.
