Forrest Rhythm and driver Jody Jamieson didn't disappoint the betting public that made them the 9-5 choice, scoring a gate-to-wire decision in the $15,000 Preferred 2 Pace on Sunday at Flamboro Downs.
Jamieson wasted no time as the wings of the gate folded, rocketing to the top ahead of Lombo Skyrider A (Donny Gillis). The leaders would not let anyone by, hitting the first station in :26.2, then rebuffing the challenge of Junior K (Randy Waples) through the :55.4 half and 1:25 three-quarters before getting daylight on the field in the stretch and hitting the wire in 1:54.2.
In a tight photo for second, Lord Fantasy (Mark MacDonald) and Lombo Skyrider (Gillis) grabbed place and show dough.
Rebecca Rose trains Forrest Rhythm (Armbro Operative - Forrest Nuke), now a five-time winner on the campaign, for Larry & John Todd of Oakville, Ont.
