Windsun Rachel Matches Hanover Record

Published: August 4, 2010 10:56 pm EDT

A 1:55.1 tour around Hanover Raceway’s half-mile oval on Wednesday by Windsun Rachel earned her a share of the track record for older pacing mares, and it earned her backers a handsome return at the windows

.

The performance turned in by the seven-year-old daughter of Dexter Nukes-Over Charge, who was sent off as a 22-1 outsider in the $7,500 tilt, matched the 1:55.1 effort turned in by Whitesand Trick on July 8, 2006.

Jonathan Drury mapped out the winning trip for Windsun Rachel, who sprinted through fractions of :27.2, :57.4 and 1:26 before finishing off her foes with a :29.1 final frame en route to the 2-1/2 length decision over Dangerous Mind. Ridge Road Emma took home third prize.

Ronald Revington of London and Donald Mitchell of Georgetown, ON share ownership on the 13-time winner, who hangs her harness bag in the barn of trainer Mike Bishop. She bumped her lifetime earnings to $172,264 with the win.
