The $35,000 Ron Banks Memorial FFA Mares Pace was the main event on the Sunday evening (June 25) harness racing card at Running Aces and featured a deeply talented field of eight top-level distaffers going into battle over a rain-soaked surface, which was listed as sloppy.
Iron Sharpens Iron was as sharp as ever on Sunday (May 28) and easily dominated the first Minnesota-sired trotting event of the season at Running Aces. He was sent off as the 1-10 favourite in the $22,000 event.
