Flanagan Memory Going For Gold

Published: June 25, 2013 11:31 pm EDT

After sweeping the top three spots in the $225,276 Goodtimes final two weeks ago, Ontario’s talented three-year-old trotting colts return to Mohawk Racetrack on Friday, June 28 for a trio of Gold Series divisions.

Goodtimes champion Flanagan Memory and driver Chris Christoforou of Campbellville will be aiming to make it two straight from Post 9 in the second race. The pair will line up outside a deeply talented field which includes last year’s Grassroots champion, and a winner of the first Gold leg, Buddy Hally from Post 1; Goodtimes Elimination winner and second runner-up Gotta Secret from Post 3; $414,457 winner Murmur Hanover from Post 4; and last year’s Super Final winner Creampuff Macdaddy from Post 8.

The three-year-old trotting colts will also battle for Gold Series points in Races 1 and 9, with the ninth race featuring Goodtimes elimination winner and first runner-up Toocool Forschool at Post 5.

Making their debut in the Ontario Sires Stakes program on Friday evening are 24 two-year-old pacing colts. Delivering impressive miles in recent qualifiers and two-year-old races, the colts will be looking to make an impression on Mohawk fans in Races 3, 6 and 10.

Among the colts that have already impressed in early season action are Falcon Justice and Cluster Hanover, who battled to a one-two finish in a June 20 contest at Mohawk, stopping the clock at 1:53.1. Guelph resident Paul MacDonell will steer Falcon Justice from Post 8 and Moffat resident Jody Jamieson guides Cluster Hanover from Post 4 in their sixth race rematch.

The three-year-old trotting colts will kick off the Friday evening festivities, going to the post in Mohawk Racetrack’s first race at 7:25 p.m.
