Hf Zeligs Glory won the final Open Pace of the 2016 Manitoba harness racing season as Miami hosted the fair circuit's finale on Saturday, Sept. 3.
Owned, trained and driven by Clayton Braybrook of Kindersley, Sask., Hf Zeligs Glory cruised wire-to-wire in the featured $1,900 Open Handicap. With the inside post advantage, the nine-year-old Glorious Scooter gelding took the lead off the gate and carved out panels of :29.3, 1:00.1 and 1:30.1 en route to the four-length victory in a season's-best 2:00.3. False Advertising was the runner-up for the third straight week at Miami while last week's Open winner Western Olympian finished third.
Hf Zeligs Glory earned his first victory against Open company on the Manitoba fair circuit, and his fourth of the year from nine starts.
Richard Remillard's four-year-old mare Wild Chic was the fastest winner of the card, leading from start to finish in the $1,750 Preferred Pace in 1:59.4.
Braybrook, Remillard and Trevor Williams each sent out a pair of winners during the 11-race card.
