Post 3 For 'The Beach’ In Super Final

Published: November 11, 2008 03:39 pm EST

World Champion three-year-old pacer Somebeachsomewhere has drawn Post 3 to headline this Saturday’s star-studded OSS Super Final night program at Woodbine Racetrack.

With regular pilot Paul MacDonell at the controls for trainer Brent MacGrath, the son of Mach Three – Wheres The Beach will face eight fellow sophomores in the $300,000 seventh race.

A winner of 18 of 19 career starts, Somebeachsomewhere will be making his first tour of the Woodbine oval, looking to go over $3 million in lifetime earnings. He currently has $2,928,755 for owner Schooner Stables.

After going undefeated in his freshman campaign, ‘Beach’ has tasted defeat once this season, coming at the hands of Art Official in the most memorable $1 million Meadowlands Pace of all-time. But since then, he has been untouchable, reeling off eight straight victories, including a World Record 1:46.4 at The Red Mile in September. In his most recent effort on October 25 at Yonkers in the Messenger Stakes, Somebeachsomewhere wore down Shadow Play to score in 1:52.1 over the Sloppy track.

Looking to take down the ‘Beach’ will be Lucky Man (PP1, Jason Brewer), who was victorious in the final OSS Gold Final of the season at Windsor Raceway for trainer Casie Coleman in 1:52.1. The Mohegan Pan (PP7, Steve Condren) will look to rebound from a disappointing seventh place finish in his most recent effort. The Bob McIntosh trainee was the runner-up in last year’s Super Final. Keystone Horatio (PP8, Randy Waples) has one Gold Final trophy and three second place finishes this season for trainer John Kopas and comes into the race with almost $500,000 on his card as a sophomore. Finally, the 2007 Super Final champ, Deuce Seelster, will have to overcome Post 9 for driver Jody Jamieson and trainer Darren McCall.

Saturday’s action gets underway at 7:30 p.m. The eight OSS Super Finals are programmed as Races 3 through 10. To view the entries, click here.
