Cruisinart kept his Northside Downs win streak in tact with another top effort in the $1,000 Winners Over Pace on Saturday in North Sydney, NS

Cruisinart finished sixth in his Governor’s Plate elimination last Sunday at Summerside Raceway, but prior to that start he had scored back-to-back wins in Northside’s top pacing class.

Kenneth Rich trains the seven-year-old gelding, who has won four times in nine starts this year earning $2,557 for owner Johnny Heffernan of Reserve Mines, NS. Lifetime, Cruisinart has made 21 trips to the winner's circle and has banked $84,178.
