Mack Hill has been an extreme case of money well spent for the partnership of Blake Baker and the Legacy Racing Of De Inc, who watched their investment extend his winning streak to nine-in-a-row at Harrington Raceway on Monday
Since being claimed for $10,000 on February 20, 2011, Mack Hill has yet to taste defeat. Trainer Wayne Givens watched the six-year-old son of Armbro Mackintosh get the job done in 1:54.1 in Monday’s assignment with driver Jim Morand in tow.
Morand got away fourth in the early going with the 1-2 favourite, who then came first over and wore down the leaders by the time the three-quarter pole flashed up in 1:25. A :29.1 final quarter was more than enough for Mack Hill to win by a length over Kaiapo Lil N. Third went to Walton Shaw A.
Since the acquisition the gelding has stashed away $31,550 in earnings.
