In today's pace, Machthemoment carved out panels of :29, :58.4 and 1:30 without facing any challenges before stopping the clock in 2:01.4.

The son of Mach Three-Memorable Moments sports nine wins and three seconds on his seasonal record in 13 outings with $2,668 earned for owners Jeanette Newell of Coleys Point South and Justin Newell of North River, Nfld.
