Louis Tomczak, Jr.'s Proper One was an upset winner in the $12,000 Open Monday at Harrington Raceway in 1:52.4.
The six-year-old homebred Proper Respect gelding registered his second straight win, and 29th in his career for trainer Carlo Poliseno.
Post position number eight proved no problem for Proper One, who was last early as pacesetter Sicily set fractions of 27, 56,3 and 1:25.
Proper One, in rein to Ross Wolfenden, was perched third-over near the half mile while Slick Tony gained first over. The former surged three-wide on the final turn as second over Archangel Three retreated and made the lead in mid stretch where he would stay. Finishing second was a fast closing Q's Cruise - the race favourite, while Slick Tony finished third. Proper One paid $16.00 to win.
Allan Davis and Montrell Teague each had three wins on the card. Russell Foster had a driving double.
Live racing will continue Tuesday with a 4:30 p.m. post time.
