It Takes Two made it two in a row at The Raceway at the Western Fair District on Monday, March 25 after the Scott McNiven student pocketed his second straight victory in the $11,600 Preferred Handicap Pace.
The race went similar to last week's feature pace as Lorne House settled the McNiven trainee into second along the pylons. After panels in :27.3, :57.4 and 1:26.2, It Takes Two met the challenge of first-over Taylors Credit and pacesetting Hollys Treasure down the stretch.

Taylors Credit (Natasha Day) grabbed second and Hollys Treasure (Dan Clements) rounded out the top three.
Kimberley McNiven and Bradley Douglas co-own the four-year-old Artspeak-Shellace gelding. The victory was his sixth in 11 starts this season and his 15th in 59 career starts. It Takes Two moved his bankroll to $107,821. He returned $14.20 to win.
