Ardon Mofford started the 2022 season of harness racing at Northside Downs with a training triple, and he returned for the second week of on-track action showing that success was no fluke.
Life Is Better ground out a parked-out win in the Ken Houston Memorial Pace at Dresden Raceway Sunday afternoon (July 25) for Garrett Rooney in 1:58.1.
Favourite Bigmachwithcheese put in some steps through the first turn and broke stride before the quarter pole, totally shifting the dynamics of the race.
Dreaming Out Loud fired to the front for Tyler Borth, while Millenium Seelster slipped into the two-hole and left Life Is Better was caught out. Being parked out wasn t the best option but I also knew going to the back would have been a death sentence, so I just stayed out there, said Rooney. My horse raced big. I was just hoping that I would have some left down the stretch and that he (Borth) might tire a little bit.
