Hugh Heff extended his perfect record in 2025 with another win the Winners Over Pace at Northside Downs on Saturday, June 7.
Post seven was no problem for Hugh Heff, who is no stranger to win streaks after winning eight straight last season. As the trailing duo, Randy Getto and Hugh Heff got position in fifth off the car in the $1,700 top class, sitting idly through the quarter in :28.4. En route to the half, Hugh Heff made his bid on a first-over journey, sitting third on the outside at the :59.2 half and tucking into third at the 1:28.4 three-quarters. Thunder Alley (John Kennedy), the pacesetter for the mile, put up a hefty fight, but Hugh Heff did just the better work with a :29.3 final quarter to win by a half length in 1:58.4. Kiss Me Im Irish (Mark Pezzarello) finished third.
Randy Getto, Susan MacSween and Wayne Hardy co-own the five-year-old gelded son of Betterthancheddar out of the Rocknroll Hanover mare Danika Patrix. Hugh Heff is now three-for-three on the year, moving his career record to 35-12-4 in 77 starts with $109,217 banked.
