When Fear Factor got the job done in last Sunday’s second race at Cal Expo, Wendi Wiener admits it was like getting a jump start on her love of harness racing.
The six-year-old son of Always A Virgin, who is co-owned by Wendi and trainer Nathalie Tremblay, was making his first appearance on the year with Nick Roland guiding him to the two and a quarter-length score.
“Since my husband Stu passed, I’ve just been racing our homebreds, and after Lilbitofmama retired I really though I was done,” Wendi related. “It just didn’t feel the same anymore. We know racing is in our blood and we just can’t quit, but I felt I would.”
