Jeff Clark’s Cruzinforavictory N ($6.60) was driven to a 1:55 victory by Ross Wolfenden in the $15,000 Junior Mares Open on Tuesday (April 11) at Harrington Raceway.
The eight-year-old Hypnotic Blue Chip mare received a second-over trip behind game first-over performer Beyond Words N, who pressured and wore down pacesetter Shield Maiden near the three-quarters. Clark trainee Cruzinforavictory emerged the leader at the top of the stretch and held off Beyond Words N for the win. Nikasa N was third. It was the 27th career win for Cruzinforavictory, who has banked more than $350,000 lifetime.
Three races earlier, Aaron Jester’s Prime Power ($129.60, Barton Dalious) lit up the board with a ground-saving trip to prevail at odds of 63-1. The Dan Munson trainee notched her second win of the season off a pocket trip.
Jason Thompson had three wins on the card, while Mike Cole had a driving double.
Live harness racing will continue on a Monday through Wednesday schedule. Post time is 4:30 p.m.
