Brett MacDonald put the pedal to the metal with YS Lotus right from the outset of Monday’s $8,500 Preferred 3 for horse and gelding pacers, and the veteran responded with an eye-catching score in 1:53.2.
Sent out by trainer Richard Moreau, YS Lotus fired to the top from Post 6 and carved out fractions of :28, :57 and 1:25.2 before zipping home in :28 to win by a pair of lengths over Awesomeness. Tagging along to finish third was Beachin Lindy.
The nine-year-old son of If I Can Dream-Bolero Takara races for owner Yves Sarrazin of La Presentation, QC. The 36-time winner now owns a 3-0-2 record from seven starts this season. He’s quickly closing in on $440,000 in lifetime earnings.
