Brookdale Buster ($3.70) braved a first-over journey on a foggy Wednesday night (July 29) to narrowly claim victory in the featured $1,250 winners-over pacing event at Inverness Raceway.
Leaving from post four in the field of five, Brookdale Buster landed in third in rein to trainer-driver Andrew MacLean behind pacesetter Docs Ronhenry (Leander Beaton) through a :30.2 first quarter. Nearing the midway point, Brookdale Buster began his long first-over pursuit, working into second before a :59.4 half and maintaining that position past three-quarters in 1:30.3. He found his best stride after cornering for home, lunging to collar Docs Ronhenry in the final yards by three-quarters of a length in 2:00.3. Your Raider Boy (Rodney Gillis) charged from last to finish third, just another neck back.
Julie MacPherson and Ryder MacLean own Brookdale Buster. The nine-year-old Western Terror gelding is now a 25-time winner.
