It was a last-to-first sweep for Easton Beach in Monday’s main event – the $13,000 Preferred 2 Handicap for pacers - at The Raceway at Western Fair District.
Trainer/driver George Ketros let Easton Beach get away sixth while even-money favourite Pedro Hanover powered to the lead and laid down fractions of :26.3, :56 and 1:26. Easton Beach started a first-over rally heading to the half, and he was hot on the heels of the leader while still racing first up at the three-quarter pole. Easton Beach used a :29.4 closing quarter to win by a head over Maximus Power in 1:56. Cyclone Joe rounded out the Trifecta ticket.
