Pompano Park hosted a pair of $11,500 Open events on Tuesday night (March 2), with Timon AS and Casies Believer taking top honours in their respective races.
Timon AS, handled by Peter Wrenn, stepped up to the top tier for trotters after a pair of wins in the highest claiming ranks and went on to blow by his stout competition in the Open Handicap Trot in a lifetime best 1:53.1, eclipsing his former mark of 1:54 over the larger seven-eighths-mile track at Hoosier Park last season.
The five-year-old altered son of Lionhunter roared by the pacesetting Muscles For Life (Wally Hennessey) at mid-stretch and scored by a widening 2-1/2 lengths with Born To Thrive (Rick Plano) third, six lengths away.
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.
