Rebellious returned to the racing wars after being given a couple of weeks off to “freshen up,” and proved that the vacation was well worth it by scoring a 1:49.4 win in Pompano Park’s $10,500 Open I-II Handicap Pace on Monday night (Feb. 15).
The seven-year-old gelded son of Mach Three, owned by trainer Mike Deters and Joel Warner, had Wally Hennessey in the sulky and took charge from post five around the initial turn and carded fractions of :26.3, :55.1 and 1:22.1 along the way before holding off the bid of the pocket-sitting Alluneedisfaith N (Mike Simons) to score by a half length. Ideal Feeling (Rick Plano) was third, three lengths away.
